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 is he the cause, oh
The writing`s on the wall
Oh but dreams, yeah dreams
Have all gone astray
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you
The great beginning
Has seen it`s final inning
Don`t know what happened
It`s all a crazy game
No more, no more of that ole time thrill
Oh, honey you been through the mill
And never will a new love will be the same
Good riddance, oh goodbye
Every, every prickle is your own to
But fools will be fools
And where`s he gone to
The road gets rougher
It`s lonelier and it`s tougher
We hope you run up
Tomorrow, tomorrow may he may turn up
There`s just no letter
The live long night and day
Ever since this world began, oh
There ain`t nothing sadder than
A one man woman crying for
The man that got away
