How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
Al Green
I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything
A man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend
A broken heart?
How can you stop the rain
From falling down?
(Tell me) 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?
Somebody, please, help me mend my
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
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one
No one ever told us about the sorrow?
So, how can you mend
A broken heart? And mine is
How can you stop the rain
From falling down?
How can you stop
The Sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And sometimes I have to say, yeah, say
La-la-la, la-la-la, uh-huh, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, tell me
Help me mend my
My broken heart
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna live again, baby
How can you mend
This broken man?
Yeah, somebody tell me
How can a loser ever win?
Baby, help me mend my
This old broken heart
I think I, I know I, I believe I
I feel I, I feel like I got to
I feel like I wanna live again
How can you mend
This broken heart?
Somebody please tell me
How can you stop the rain
From falling down?
Although my clothes are all wet, tell me
How can you mend my
Please help me mend my broken heart
I think I, I believe I
I've got a feeling that I want to live
And live and live
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la
La, yeah
