Somewhere A Broken Heart 1908

A maiden stealing at eventide
to her greyhaired uncle's chair
Found him in tears o'er some roses dead
and a lock of golden hair.
What do these mean cried the little girl
Just a broken heart he said,
The love that bloomed like these roses child
Is as faded now and dead.

Somewhere a broken heart
pines through the sunlit day
Somewhere a broken heart
weeps in the shadows grey,
Love's sweet dream has vanished
and fond souls live apart,
Lock of gold and roses old
somewhere a broken heart.

Our love was sweet as a love could be
But they parted us in scorn.
For I earned bread with my toiling hand
While she was an heiress born
A noble man came across the sea
He sought for her heart and hand,
They sold her gold for a title, lass.
Afar in a foreign land.

Somewhere a broken heart
pines through the sunlit day
Somewhere a broken heart
weeps in the shadows grey,
Love's sweet dream has vanished
and fond souls live apart,
Lock of gold and roses old
somewhere a broken heart.
