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 its 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 will turn up
There´s just no let up
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
