Album: A Star Is Born

The Man That Got Away

The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
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 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 same

Good riddance
Goodbye
Every trick of his
You're onto
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 might 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
