The Man That Got Away

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 road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow he may 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
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for the man that got away
