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,   The dreams you dreamed have all   Gone astray.   The man that won you   Has run off and undone you.   That great beginning   Has seen it's 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, 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 letup   The livelong 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 road gets rougher,   It's lonelier and tougher.   With hope you burn up,   Tomorrow he may turn up.   There's just no letup   The livelong night and day.      Ever since this world began   There is nothing sadder than   A one-man woman   Looking for the man   The man that got away . . .      The man that got away . . .
