The Man That Got Away

The night is bitter

The stars have lost their glitter

The wind grows colder

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 the final inning

Don't know what happened, it's all a crazy game

No more that old-time thrill

For you've been through the mill

And never a new love

Will be the same

Good riddance, goodbye

Very trick of his you're onto

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 might turn up

There's just no let up

The livelong night and day

Ever since this world began

There's nothing sadder than

Sadder than a one-man woman lookin' for the man

That got away

The man that got away
