The Man That Got Away lyrics

the night is bitter,
the stars have lost their glitter;
the winds grow colder
and suddenly you`re older -
and all because of the man that got away.

no more his eager call,
the writing`s on the wall;
the dreams you dreamed have all
gone astray.

the man that won you
has gone off and undone you.
that great beginning
has seen the final inning.
don`t know what happened. it`s all a crazy game!

no more that all-time thrill,
for you`ve been through the mill -
and never a new love will
be the same.

good riddance, good-bye!
ev`ry trick of his you`re on to.
but, fools will be fools -
and where`s he gone to?

the road gets rougher,
it`s lonelier and tougher.
with hope you burn up -
tomorrow he may turn up.
there`s just no letup the live-long night and day!

ever since this world began
there is nothing sadder than
a one-man woman looking for
the man that got away....
the man that got away
