Song Lyrics

They told me love was not
What I dreamed it would be
And one day if I fell in love then I would see
But I believed when my love came
My dreams would all come true

But I know better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart

They told me when I found you
That it wouldn't last
They said you had too many lovers in your past
And foolishly I thought
That I could mean much more to you

But I know better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart

You told me I was everything a love should be
I was your destiny
I was your reason to live
And you would give all of life's treasures to me

Now I can hear them laughing as they pass my way
They say, "I told you so", there's nothing I can say
For they were right and I was wrong
They said so from the start

I lost the only love I knew when I lost you
Yes, all too late, I realized your words were lies
My dream of love is through

And I know better now
Now that we're worlds apart
Now as the teardrops start
Love's just a broken heart
Just one more broken heart

Kenny Lynch, Mort Shuman
