What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted

Lyrics and Music by James Dean Paul RiserWilliam Weatherspoon

Recorded by Vonda Shepard

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
