1. Somewhere there should be for all the world to see

An image of a man who let love slip through his hands,

2. And there on his face a gold tear should be placed

to honor the million tears he's cried.

And the hurt in his eyes would show, so everyone would know

A A7 D - D7

concealed is a broken heart insi…….de.

so that all can see.

and name it af..ter m………...e.
