Tears of a Broken Heart
by Stanley M. Latta

"Had sighed for many, though he loved but one."

Tears of a broken heart
Are the saddest tears of all.
As I gaze into the mirror,
How silently they fall.

Tears of a broken heart
Are falling down like rain--
Washing hope out of my life,
And causing so much pain.

For love has taken my thoughts from me,
And my words cannot succeed:
For when a heart it cannot cry,
For love a heart does bleed.

Bleeding for love a'lost in time . . .
A blessing forever apart.
There can be no sadder tears in this world
Than the tears of a broken heart.
