Medley: The Gal That Got Away / It Never Entered My Mind (live at the Pyramids, Egypt / 1979) Frank Sinatra Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

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 saying
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
And now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me
That if you scorned me
I′d say 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 hers you are onto
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 you burn up
Tomorrow maybe she'll turn up
There ain′t no letter
We live long night
Night and day

Ever since, since this world began
There ain't nothing sadder than
A long lost loser
Looking for his gal
Who got away

Please, come back
Won't you come back?
