Harold Arlen - The Man That Got Away LYRICS

The night is bitter,

The stars have lost their glitter,

The winds grow colder,

And suddenly youre older

And all because of

The man that got away.



No more his eager call,

The writings 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 its final inning,

Dont know what happened

Its all a crazy game.



No more that all-time thrill

For youve been through the mill,

And never a new love will

Be the same.



Good riddance, good-bye.

Every trick of his youre on to -

But fools will be fools and wheres he gone to?



The road gets rougher,

Its lonelier and tougher.

With hope you burn up,

Tomorrow he may turn up.

Theres 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 . . .



<interlude>



The road gets rougher,

Its lonelier and tougher.

With hope you burn up,

Tomorrow he may turn up.

Theres 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

The man that got away . . .



The man that got away . . .
