This cover of a song by England Dan & John Ford Coley was a much bigger success than the original, topping both Billboard’s Country and Adult Contemporary charts and placing No. 12 on the Hot 100 chart.
[Verse 1]
Every now and then, I cry
Every night, you keep staying on my mind
All my friends say I'll survive, it just takes time
[Chorus]
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No, I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No, I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No, I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song, I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken hearted me
[Verse 2]
Every day is just the same
Playing games, different lovers, different names
They keep saying I'll survive, it just takes time
[Chorus]
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No, I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No, I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No, I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song, I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken hearted
Time won't heal a broken hearted me
