Jane Monheit - The Man That Got Away Lyrics



Jane Monheit - The Man That Got Away Lyrics




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 the 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
Ever 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
That got away

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
Looking for the man
Looking for the man"
