The Man That Got Away

Lyrics

[Intro] La-de-de-de-da Da-de-de-da, da-da-de-de, da [Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] No more his eager call The writings on the wall The dreams you've dreamed have all gone astray [Verse 2] The man that won you Has run off and undone you That great beginning Has seen the final inning I don't know what happened It's all a crazy game [Verse 3] No more that old-time thrill 'Cause you've been through the mill And never a new love will be the same [Verse 4] Good riddance, goodbye Every trick of his, you're onto But fools will be fools and where's he gone to? [Verse 5] 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 The livelong night and day [Chorus] Ever since this world began There is nothing sadder than A one-man woman lookin' for the man that got away The man that got away
