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 that eager call
The writing’s on the wall
The dreams you’ve dreamed have all gone astray
The man that won you
Has run 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 old time thrill
Cuz you’ve been through the mill
And never a new love will be
the same
Good riddance, goodbye
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 let up
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 man that got away…
