HE DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART

He was a lonely man and noone really knew
what happened in his home at night
He never had no friends and noone ever got to see his face
And all the doors were locked and he was using nothing more
than candlelight
And noone ever saw him crying
though everybody knew he was dying from a broken heart

He was a wealthy man and everybody knew
he kept a lot of money there
He had his food delivered by a market on the 54th Street
And all his bills were paid an hour later
by the bank and noone seemed to care
And noone ever saw him crying
though everybody knew he was dying from a broken heart

He always left a perfect impression
He was smarter than the average guy
His face was always void of expression
leaving everybody wondering why

He was a happy when he was married
but today it seems so long ago
She was a childish girl and they were always walking hand-in-hand
One day she walked away to buy a paper
but she left him for a travelling show
But noone ever saw him crying
though everybody knew he was dying from a broken heart

He always left a perfect impression
He was smarter than the average guy
His face was always void of expression
leaving everybody wondering why
