the gal 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 a gal

that got away

no more her eager call

the writing's on the wall

the dreams you dreamed

have all gone astray

the girl that won you

has gone 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

you've been through the mill

and never a new love

will be the same

good riddance

goodbye

every trick of hers you're on to

but fools will be fools

and where's she gone to

the road gets rough-a

it's lonlier and tough-a

with hope you burn up

tomorrow she may turn up

there's no let up

the live long night and day

evah since the world began

there is nothing sadder than

a one girl guy

lookin' for the girl that got away

the road gets rough-a

it's lonelier and tough-a

with hope you burn up

tomorrow she may turn up

there's no let up

the live long night and day

evah since

since the world began

there is nothing sadder than

a one girl guy

one girl guy

one girl guy. lookin' for

the gal that got away
