The Man That Got Away Lyrics - And So Much More - Linda Eder

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 writings on the wall 

The dreams you've dreamed 

Have all gone astray 

The man that won you 

Has run off and undone you 

That great beginning 

Has seen a 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, 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 

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 

The man that got away
