How Can a Man Live His Life Without a Broken Heart? Lyrics

Well the moon shook my hand 

And said welcome young man to the dark 

I was foolish to stay 

Should have looked the other way

I'm a riverboat gambler by heart 

I was stuck to the floor

By the shoes that I wore

They were doomed from the start

Tell me how can a man live his life without a broken heart 

If you put up your guard 

You'll push her too far past the stars

Stand too close 

You'll burn from head to toe

You'll fall as quick as a spark

It's a balancing game 

That is hard to explain

I guess it's kind of an art

To tell me how can a man live his life without a broken heart 

Without a broken heart

Should I lose the things I want, my darling

To discover what I'm looking for 

Live my life in the thick of a warning

Without ever looking out my door

Well the moon shook my hand 

And said welcome young man to the light

And as his words hit my ears

All my darkness and fears 

Surrendered and gave up the fight

He said sometimes all you need is love to be free

And you can find it wherever you are

And that's how a man lives his life without a broken heart 

Yeah and that’s how a man lives his life without a broken heart

Without a broken heart
