The Man That Got Away

[Verse 1]

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

[Bridge]

No more his eager call

Oh the writing's on the wall

Oh the dreams, yeah dreams have all gone astray

[Verse 2]

The man that won you

Has gone off and undone you

The great beginning

Has seen its final inning

Don't know what happened

It's all a crazy game

[Chorus]

No more, no more that old time thrill

Oh honey, you've been through the mill

And never a new love will be the same

[Verse 3]

Good riddance, oh good bye

Every, every trick of his you're on to

Oh, but fools will be fools

And where's he gone to?

The road gets rougher

It's lonelier and it's tougher

With hope you burn up

Tomorrow, tomorrow he may turn up

There's just no let up

The live long night at day

[Outro]

Ever since this world began

There ain't nothing sadder than

A one-man woman pining for the man that got away
