[Verse 1]
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The wind grows colder and suddenly you're older
And all because of the man that got away

[Bridge]
No more his eager call
Oh the writing's on the wall
Oh the dreams, yeah dreams have all gone astray

[Verse 2]
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you
The great beginning
Has seen its final inning
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game

[Chorus]
No more, no more that old time thrill
Oh honey, you've been through the mill
And never a new love will be the same

[Verse 3]
Good riddance, oh good bye
Every, every trick of his you're on to
Oh, but fools will be fools
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow, tomorrow he may turn up
There's just no let up
The live long night at day
[Outro]
Ever since this world began
There ain't nothing sadder than
A one-man woman pining for the man that got away
