The night is bitter.
The stars have lost their glitter.
The wind grows colder and suddenly you´re older.
And all because of the man that got away.

No more his eager call.
Oh the writing´s on the wall.
Dreams have all gone astray.

The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning.
Don´t know what happened.
It´s all a crazy game.

No more, no more that old time thrill.
Oh honey, you´ve been through the mill.
And never a new love will be the same.

Good riddance, oh 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 it´s tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow, tomorrow he may turn up.
There´s just no let up
The live long night at day.

Ever since this world began
There ain´t nothing sadder than
A one-man woman pining for the man that got away.
