Travelling the lonely roads of sorrow
Heartaches are all I've ever known
Time has turned a million pages
Fate has dealt and I'm alone

But somewhere along life's highway
From your new love you may part
And you will reap the pains my darling
That go with a broken heart

The little stars all twinkled brighter
The moon smiled gaily from the blue
The flowers seemed to spread more beauty
Oh, so glad 'cause I met you

But somewhere along life's highway
From your new love you may part
And you will reap the pains my darling
That go with a broken heart

Though you've made my life a failure
I have never been untrue
And these lonely years have wasted
All because of my love for you

But somewhere along life's highway
From your new love you may part
And you will reap the pains my darling
That go with a broken heart

You played your game to leave me darling
Your game I did not understand
So you dealt the cards against me
And I played the losing hand

But somewhere along life's highway
From your new love you may part
And you will reap the pains my darling
That go with a broken heart
