The Man That Got Away |
| 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 gone 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 all-time thrill, |
| For you’ve been through the mill — |
| And never a new love will |
| Be the same. |
| Good riddance, good-bye! |
| Ev’ry 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 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… |
| The man that got away. |
