Al Green - The City Lyrics

I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrow

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
Tell me how can you stop
The sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one
No one ever told us about the sorrow

So how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And sometimes I've got to say

Tell me help me mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win, baby?
Please help me mend my broken heart

I think I'll let me live again

So how can you mend this broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
Help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
