The Man That Got Away

The Man That Got Away
The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter,
The wind grows colder
And 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 its 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, good-bye!
All those trick of his, you're on to.
????
BAnd where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up,
Tomorrow he's gonna turn up.
There's just no let-up
The live-long 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.
