Dinah Washington
The Man That Got Away
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 . .

The road gets rougher

With hope you burn up

Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man
The man that got away . .
