What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted

What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted
What becomes of the broken-hearted
jimmy ruffin
As i walk this land with broken dreams
i have visions of many things
love's happiness is just an illusion
filled with sadness and confusion,
what becomes of the broken hearted
who had love that's now departed?
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
maybe.
the fruits of love grow all around
but for me they come a tumblin' down.
every day heartaches grow a little stronger
i can't stand this pain much longer
i walk in shadows
searching for light
cold and alone
no comfort in sight,
hoping and praying for someone to care
always moving and goin to where
what becomes of the broken hearted
who had love that's now departed?
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
maybe.
i'm searching though i don't succeed,
but someone look, there's a growing need.
oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
all that's left is an unhappy ending.
now what's become of the broken-hearted
who had love that's now departed?
i know i've got to find
some kind of peace of mind
i'll be searching everywhere
just to find someone to care.
i'll be looking everyday
i know i'm gonna find a way
nothings gonna stop me now
i'll find a way somehow
i'll be searching everywhere
