Broken-Hearted Melody
Julie London Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Broken hearted melody
Once you were our song of love
Now you just keep taunting me
With the memory of (ba da da)
His tender love, oh broken hearted melody
Must you keep reminding me
Of the lips I long to kiss
And the love I miss since he went away
Night and day I play
That broken hearted melody
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
And he held me tight suddenly I found
I was heaven bound broken hearted melody
Once you were our song of love
Now you just keep taunting me
With the memory of (ba da da)
His tender love, oh broken hearted melody
Won't you bring him back to me
Sing to him until he yearns
For when he returns no more will he play




Since he went away broken hearted melody
Broken hearted melody
