The Man That Got Away

The night is bitter The stars have lost their glitter The wind grows colder and suddenly you're older And all because of the man that got away No more his eager call Oh the writing's on the wall Dreams have all gone astray The man that won you Has gone off and undone you That great beginning Has seen its final inning Don't know what happened It's all a crazy game No more, no more that old time thrill Oh honey, you've been through the mill And never a new love will be the same Good riddance, oh 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 it's tougher With hope you burn up Tomorrow, tomorrow he may turn up There's just no let up The live long night at day Ever since this world began There ain't nothing sadder than A one-man woman pining for the man that got away
