I was 6 year when Jimmy Ruffin sang, What Becomes Of The Broken-hearted. This record was play a lot in our home and I liked it. The first song I heard this morning on the radio. I Love it.

As I walk this land of broken dreams, I have visions of many things, but happiness is just an illusion, filled with sadness and confusion. What becomes of the broken hearted, 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 a tumblin’ 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 goin’ nowhere. What becomes of the broken hearted. Who had love that’s now departed? I know I’ve got to find, Some kind of peace of mind. Help me.

I’m searching though I don’t succeed, for someone’s love, there is a growing need. All is lost, there’s no place for beginning, All that’s left is an unhappy ending. Now what becomes of the broken-hearted, 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 everyday, I know I’m gonna find a way. Nothing gonna stop me now, I’ll find a way somehow…
