    I knew he could sing from Book of Mormon, but this is more perfect than I knew could happen. Only thing missing is Judy's broken soul. But I bet he could pull it off if this was a show with a storyline and he was acting a character .

    The night is bitter
    The stars have lost their glitter
    The winds grow colder
    Suddenly you're older
    And all because of the man that got away
    No more his eager call
    The writings 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
    And 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 will turn up
    There's just no letup 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
