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 Love's happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion. What becomes of the brokenhearted 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 tumbling 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 going nowhere What becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, baby 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 brokenhearted 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 every day I know I'm gonna find a way Nothing's gonna stop me now I will find a way somehow (What's become, what's become, What's become of the brokenhearted What's become, what's become, What's become of the brokenhearted) I knooow, ohh yeah.... c 1966 (Renewed) 1994 Jobete Music Co.
