All The King's Horses (All The King's Men)

(album: Soulful Tapestry - 1971)

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again

My life is split in two
My better half is you
I'm filled with deep regret
The love I can't forget
One thing on earth can save me
Bring back the love you gave me
That shut the lies you spoke
The promises you broke

Just like Humpty Dumpty
Who sat up on the wall
You build me up, boy
Just to let me fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again

I can't count the times I looked
The pictures that we took
I sit and reminisce
Of all the joy I missed
Love letters that you wrote
That soothe the heart you broke
I need your love to mend
Our heart together again

Just like Humpty Dumpty
Who sat up on the wall
You build me up, boy
Just to let me fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again

Just like Humpty Dumpty
Who sat up on the wall
You build me up, boy
Just to let me fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put my broken heart
Back together again

Only you can make my life complete
Darling, please come back to me
Please come on home
My heart is like a broken shell
Only your sweet love can heal
Please, please come on back
Only you can make my life complete
Darling, please come back to me
