The Man That Got Away — текст песни (Linda Eder)

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 writings on the wall
the dreams you`ve dreamed
have all gone astray

The man that won you
has run off and undone you
that great beginning
has seen a 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, goodbye
every trick of his you`re onto
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 might 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 man that got away
