Audra McDonald - 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
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 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
