Lyrics
I can think of younger days
When living for my life was everything a girl could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrowAnd 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 around?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 againI can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We can never see tomorrow
And no one said a word about the sorrowAnd 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 around?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 againLa la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la laPlease, 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
