The Gal That Got Away

The night is bitter

The stars have lost their glitter

The winds grow colder

Suddenly you're older

And all because of a gal that got away

No more her eager call

The writing is on the wall

The dreams you dreamed

Have all gone astray

The gal that won you

She's run off and undone you

That great beginning

It's seen the final inning

I don't know what happened

It's all a crazy game

No more, that all time thrill

For you have been though the mill

And never a new love

Is gonna be the same

Good riddance, goodbye

Every trick of hers, you're on to

But fools will be fools

And where she gone to?

The road gets rougher

It's lonelier and it's tougher

With hope ya burn up

Maybe tomorrow she'll turn up

There just no let up

The whole damn night, the night and day

Ever since, ever since this world began

There ain't nothing sadder than

A long lost loser

Looking for his gal that got away

The gal that got away
