The Man That Got Away
The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter;
The winds grow colder
And suddenly youre older -
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call,
The writings 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.
Dont know what happened. Its all a crazy game!
No more that all-time thrill,
For youve been through the mill -
And never a new love will
Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye!
Evry trick of his youre on to.
But, fools will be fools -
And wheres he gone to?
The road gets rougher,
Its lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up -
Tomorrow he may turn up.
Theres 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.
