The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder, suddenly you`re older
And all because of the man that got away
No more his eager call, the writings 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 a final inning
Don`t know what happened, it`s all a crazy game
No more that all-time thrill, for 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`ll burn up, tomorrow he might turn up
There`s just no letup, 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
