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, 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 
Hets 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
