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
