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 writing's on the wall
Dreams have all gone astray
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
No more that old time thrill
Cuz you've been through the mill
And never a new love will be the same
Good riddance, goodbye
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
The live long night at day
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
