MENDING A BROKEN HEART

MENDING A BROKEN HEART

You could criticize and judge me,
if that is your point of view;
when you see me out there dancing,
holding on to someone new.

You may wonder why I'm laughing
a little louder than I did before;
I'm just mending a broken heart
and trying to even up the score.

Refrain:
I'm mending a broken heart
so bear with me just awhile;
It's been a long, long time
since I remembered how to smile.

Now if you look at me closely -
you can see a tear-stained face,
as I keep thinking that someone
might never take your place.

Other nights and other arms
will help me to forget the pain
if only for a little while
when no thoughts of you remain.

Refrain:
I'm mending a broken heart
so bear with me for just awhile;
It's been a long, long time
since I remembered how to smile.

All my yesterdays are memories
that time alone cannot erase;
thoughts of you keep haunting me
from another time and place.

I'm mending a broken heart tonight
and trying to forget the past,
the gold wedding band has tarnished
for some loves just don't last.

Refrain:
I'm mending a broken heart
so bear with me for just awhile;
it's been a long, long time
since I remembered how to smile.
