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 writing's 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 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, good-bye
   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 burn up
   Tomorrow he may turn up
   There's just no let up
   But live lone 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...
