Lyrics
1953 - Harold Arlen / Ira Gershwin 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 its 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 let up The live long 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
