Man That Got Away Lyrics - Sings The Standards - Julie London

The night is bitter, 

The stars have lost their glitter, 

The winds grow colder, 

And 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 it's 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 the same. 

Good riddance, good-bye. 

Every trick of his you're on to 

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 may turn up. 

There's 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

There is nothing sadder than

Looking for the man 

The man that got away
