What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted

Recorded by Vonda Shepard
On the album 'Heart and Soul: New Songs from Ally McBeal'
Also recorded by Jimmy Ruffin

As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Loves happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion.
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love thats now departed?
I know Ive got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I cant 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 going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love thats now departed?
I know Ive got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby
Im searching though I dont succeed,
But someone look, theres a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, theres no place for beginning,
All thats left is an unhappy ending.
Now whats become of the brokenhearted
Who had love thats now departed?
I know Ive got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Ill be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
Ill be looking every day
I know Im gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I will find a way somehow
(Whats become, whats become,
Whats become of the brokenhearted
Whats become, whats become,
Whats become of the brokenhearted)
I knooow, ohh yeah....
