The night is quieter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
And 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 wanted you
Has run off and undone you
That great beginning
Quell'inizio magnifico
Has seen the final inning
Ha visto la finale
Don't know what happened
Non so cosa sia successo
It's all a crazy game
È tutto un gioco pazzo
No more that old time thrill
Niente più di quell'emozione di un tempo
For you've been through the mill
Perché sei passata attraverso il tritacarne
And now that a new love will be the same
E ora che un nuovo amore sarà lo stesso
Don't know what happened
Non so cosa sia successo
It's all a crazy game
È tutto un gioco pazzo
No more that old time thrill
Niente più di quell'emozione di un tempo
For you've been through the mill
Perché hai passato il macero
And now that a new love will be the same
E ora che un nuovo amore sarà lo stesso
