The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
And 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 ** of his you're on
To
But fools will be fools
And where he's gone
To
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 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
