What Becomes of the Brokenhearted

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....
