"What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" - Jimmy Ruffin
I've been in wonder for the last 2 days.
I decided to take an even further trip down memory lane. I pulled out a velvet burgundy box with a Christmas tree patch stitched on the front. Inside this precious box are boot-legged DVDs of The Wonder Years. Ya, so a couple of the "disks" skip and one episode has absolutely no sound at all. And some of my all-time favorites are edited for TV, but hey it's still one of the best gifts I've ever received.
This song was from an episode entitled, St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Kevin liked Winnie and knew she liked him back, but just wouldn't admit it. He did everything a boy could do to talk to her, but she wouldn't give in. So he "stole" a Valentine and wrote the only thing he could think of, "Please forgive me." The only thing is his "cupid" gave it to the wrong girl! But in the end, the arrow aimed at the right heart and all was well in suburbia. And now I get to watch a few good shows and relive these simple times when the biggest drama was whether someone "likes" you enough to hold your hand while studying, and of course, to give you a Valentine made out of construction paper, glitter, and doilies.
I love this series. I remember watching the very first episode and thinking, "Oh my, they're actually going to let kids kiss on TV!" Aw, the butterflies and goosebumps...I remember my first kiss...
It happened on the playground at Hamilton Elementary. He was a little shorter than me and adorably shy. It was right before the lunch bell rang and we all had to run back in line for class. The kids scattered like wildfire except for the two of us. We were just standing there next to the wired fence. He had to tip-toe a little to reach my lips and we kissed very quickly. We just sorta stood there in shock and did what kids do when they find themselves in an awkward situation; embarrassed beyond belief. We wiped our lips off with our sleeves and spat out in disgust! I sorta giggled as we ran back to meet the others because I knew we knew in our hearts it wasn't that bad at all.
Lyrics:
As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things.
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion.
What becomes of the broken hearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer.
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight.
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin' nowhere.
What becomes of the broken hearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind.
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way.
Nothings gonna stop me now.
I'll find a way somehow.
I'll be searching everywhere.
