WHERE DOES A BROKEN HEART GO
Written by: Jim Reeves, attributed to Mary Reeves.
(Recorded circa November 1954 and again 14 June 1962 - "velvet
version")
Where does a broken heart go? Does it just fade away?
Is it lost forever? Will it live again someday?
How can a broken heart live on with more than its share,
When it knows the game is lost - and it's hopeless to care?
When a heart has taken (‘bout*) all it can stand - (* velvet version)
Is it then protected with God's loving hand?
Where does a broken heart go when it dies of pain?
Is there a heaven for broken hearts? Will it live again?
When a heart has taken all it can stand - (This line omitted in velvet version)
Is it then protected with God's loving hand?
Where does a broken heart go when it dies of pain?
Is there a heaven for broken hearts? Will it live again?
