## Letra

   The winds grow colder, suddenly you're older
   And all because of the man that got away.
   No more his eager call, the writting'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 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 mil,
   And never a new love will be the same.
   Good riddance, goodbye! 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 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.
