The Man That Got Away

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 run off and undone you.

That great beginning

Has seen it`s 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.

Every 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 livelong 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 road gets rougher,

It`s lonelier and tougher.

With hope you burn up,

Tomorrow he may turn up.

There`s just no letup

The livelong night and day.

Ever since this world began

There is nothing sadder than

A one-man woman

Looking for the man

The man that got away . . .

The man that got away . . .
