The night is bitter The stars have lost their glitter The wind blows colder And suddenly you're older And all because of the man that got away No more is he the cause The writings 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 ending Don't know what happened It's all a crazy game No more, no more of that ole time thrill Honey you been through the mill Never will a new love will be the same Good riddance ah goodbye Every, every prickle is you own to But fools will be fools And where he goes to The road gets rougher It's lonelier and it's tougher We hope you run up Tomorrow, tomorrow may come up There's just no letter The live long night and day Ever since this world begun There ain't nothing sadder Than a one man woman Crying for the man that got away
