Lyrics
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR HEART When my baby came in last night My head was in my hands She said, "Talk to me, baby, now shed some light So I can understand." I said I feel like a stranger in my own land A gypsy in my home I know you're reaching out to take my hand Why am I so alone. CHORUS: Please help me baby I've gone astray Cause we've grown apart Yeah help me baby cause you lose your way When you lose your heart Sometimes I just cannot believe my eyes It makes you stop and stare You shake your head because you realize Nobody seems to care. I saw a man with a cardboard sign Out on the street today I up and asked him what was on his mind Here's what he had to say, he said CHORUS: Please help me brother cause I've gone astray Cause we've grown apart Yeah help me brother cause you lose your way When you lose your heart I took my boy down to the Sunday church, He didn't want to go. I said, "C'mon buddy now it could be worse, And there's something you should know." Inside the people were just swinging low And praying for their sins. Can't tell you buddy where the future goes, But this is where it begins. CHORUS: Please help me, Lord 'cause I've gone astray, And you and I are growing apart. Please help me, Lord 'cause you lose your way When you lose your heart When you lose your heart When you lose your heart
