Lyrics
Coffee black, cigarettes
Start this day like all the rest
First thing every morning that I do
Is start missing you
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
Rendezvous in the night
A willing woman to hold me tight
But in the middle of love’s embrace
I see your face
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
