'THE GAL THAT GOT AWAY': Music - Harold Arlen / Words - Ira Gershwin - - 'IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND': Music - Richard Rodgers / Words - Lorenz Hart
Frank Sinatra (Recorded April 8, 1981)
The night is bitter...the stars have lost their glitter...the winds grow colder...suddenly you're a lot older...and all because...of a gal who got away...
No more her eager call...the writing is on the wall...all those dreams you dreamed...they have all gone astray...
The gal who won you...she's run off and undone you...that great beginning...has seen the final inning...I don't know what happened...It's all a crazy game...
No more...no more that all-time thrill...because...you have been put through the mill...and never a new love...will ever be the same...
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Once I laughed when...I heard you say...that I'd be playing solitaire...uneasy...in my easy chair...it never entered my mind...
Once you told me...I was mistaken...that I'd awaken...with the sun...and order...orange juice...for...one...it never entered my mind...
You have...what I lack myself...now I even have to scratch my back...myself...once...you warned me...that if you scourned me...I'd say a lover's prayer again...and wish that you were there again...to get into my hair again...it never entered...my mind...
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Good riddance...goodbye...every trick of her's...you are on to...but fools will be fools...and where's she gone?...where has she gone?...
The road gets rougher...it's lonelier and it's tougher...with hope, ya' burn up...tomorrow...maybe she'll turn up...there ain't no let-up...live long night...night and day...ever since...since this world began...there ain't nothin' sadder than...a long lost loser...lookin' for his gal...who got away...please come back...won't 'cha come back?...MMMMMMMMMMMMMM...MMMMMMMMMMMMMM..............
