Broken-Hearted Melody

Sarah Vaughan



#7 in 1959.



Br-oooo-ken hearted me-eee-lo-dy

Ooooonce you were our song of love.

Nooooow you just keep taunting me

Wiiiiith 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 they play.

But, broken hearted melody

That he used to sing to me

When our love was young and bright

As he held me tight;

Suddenly I found: I was out of bound



Brooooken hearted melody

Ooooonce you were my song of love.

Nooooow you just keep taunting me

Wiiiiiith 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 hears,

For when he returns no more will he be,

A broken hearted melody.

Oooooooo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, ooooooooo,

Oooooooo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, ooooooooo. . .
