I can think of younger days When living for my life Was everything a man could want to do I could never see tomorrow But I was never told about the sorrow How can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down? How can you stop the sun from shining? What makes the world go round? How can you mend this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again I can still feel the breeze That rustles through the trees And misty memories of days gone by We could never see tomorrow But no one said a word about the sorrow How can you mend a broken heart? How can you stop the rain from falling down How can you stop the sun from shining What makes the world go round And how can you mend this broken man? How can a loser ever win? Please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again La la la la la la, la la la la La la la la la la, la la la la Please help me mend my broken heart And let me live again Da da da da Da da da da, da da da da da, da
