Also recorded in The Reprise Collection, Disc 4 as a track with It never entered my mind.

The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder, 'n' suddenly you're older
And all because of the gal that got away
No more her eager call, the writing's on the wall
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray

The gal that won you, has run off and undone you
That great beginning has seen the final inning
Don't know what happened, its all a crazy game
No more  that all time thrill, for you've been though the mill
And never a new love will be the same

Good riddance, good-bye
Every trick of hers you're on to
But fools will be fools and 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's just no let up, the live-long night and day

Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than a lost-lost loser
Lookin' for the gal that got away

Please come back, won't ya come back?
The gal that got away.
