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. . .
