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
