歌词
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
No more his eager call
The writing's on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
No more that old-time thrill
For you've been through the mill
And never a new love
Will be the same
[Verse 5]
Good riddance, goodbye
Very trick of his you're onto
But fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
