Gal That Got Away, The

The night is bitter

The stars have lost their glitter

The winds grow colder

And suddenly your older

And all because of the gal that got away



No more her eager call

The writing's on the wall

And all those dreams you dreamed

Have gone astray



The gal who won you

She's run off and undone you

That great beginning

Has seen its final inning

Don't know what happened

It's all a crazy game



No more that all time thrill

Cause you've been through the mill

And never a new love

Will be the same



Good riddance good-bye

Every trick of hers you are on to

Fools may be fools

But where's she gone to?



The road gets rougher

It's lonelier and tougher

With hope you burn up

Tomorrow she may turn up

There ain't no let up

The live long night and day



Ever since this world began

There ain't nothin' sadder than

A long lost loser

Lookin' for the gal that got away



Please come back

Won't you come back
