Frank Sinatra - Gal That Got Away, The lyrics

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
