the man that got away

Singer:cher

the night is bitter

the stars have lost their glitter

the wind blows colder

and suddenly you're older

and all because of the man that got away

no more is he the cause

the writings on the wall

oh but dreams

yeah dreams

have all gone astray

the man that won you

has gone off and undone you

the great beginning

has seen it's final ending

don't know what happened

it's all a crazy game

no more

no more of that ole time thrill

honey you been through the mill

never will a new love will be the same

good riddance ah goodbye

every

every prickle is you own to

but fools will be fools

and where he goes to

the road gets rougher

it's lonelier and it's tougher

we hope you run up

tomorrow

tomorrow may come up

there's just no letter

the live long night and day

ever since this world begun

there ain't nothing sadder

than a one man woman

crying for the man that got away
