Young, Neil - Only Love Can Break Your Heart Lyrics






When you were young
and on your own
How did it feel
to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make
the best of my time.

But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose
the down that he's found.

But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?

I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Yes, only love
can break your heart
Yes, only love
can break your heart

    My mom tell me 2020 must be maried, girl help me

  3. M.... G....

    My girl was shot and killed in cold blood Aug 30 2018 and this is the 2nd Christmas without her. Its so fuccin hard, it doesn’t get a second easier. If anything it gets harder...She hides herself in my dreams.

  4. A.... A....

    2019 anyone?!!!

  5. D.... T....

    I heard this song, Only Love Can Break Your Heart for the first time in late November or December of 1969 on the radio, just several months before 4 Kent State University was shot down in Kent Ohio on May 4, 1970. Even before American Top 40 countdown which was debuted on July 11, 1970.

  6. N.... I....

    Good music good song

  7. s.... ....

    370 people were standing on their head

  8. M.... S....

    IM OLD NOW AND IT STILL FEELS THE SAME

  9. B.... N....

    This is one of the top 5 love songs ever written. I heard it the first time in the early 70's and it's as soulful today as it was then, thank you Neil Young.

  10. L.... T....

    Only love can break your heart, it's true ! Thanks to you my big brother !

  11. V.... B....

    It's like a lullaby

  12. s.... ....

    I hear a late 60s Beach Boys influence here, like I Went Sleep. Maybe Brian Wilson was the friend he'd never seen with his head in side a dream

  13. C.... W....

    This song makes me so happy and what a beautiful video 🎥
    One of Neil Youngs best songs 🎧
    I wish I lived in a simpler time 🕒
    Every one looks so happy.

  14. D.... H....

    Beautiful!!!

  15. h.... ....

  19. R.... C....

    Es lindo recordar estas canciones, Gracias Carole & Tuesday

    R.... C....

    Yooooooo!

  20. H.... e....

    The sigit

  21. S.... ....

    I was a young man when I first heard this and I’ll be an Old Man the last time I hear it

  22. S.... C....

    And friends

  23. D.... H....

    there is rock version of this cover... you can search from a Band named "The Sigit" From Indonesia

  24. D.... L....

    Where do you think that kid is now?

  25. J.... B....

    Maybe hearts were made to be broken...

  26. K.... A....

    First NY song I learned to play...almost by accident.

    Still one of my favourites!

  27. P.... a....

    Birthday approaching fast another year ticked off....

  28. J.... L....

    St. Etienne's version is thousands of times better.

  29. K.... K....

    A most Beautiful song♡♡♡♡♡..the video is very interesting...a lot of wealthy people whom most seem to be not so happy...cautious and extremely on fight or flight mode...and yet the happy couple shows that they really are happy to be married...others seem to be in the wedding stages but not of the Loving and happy energies... fascinating to see this video. Thank you for sharing..is this the Fords?

  30. r.... r....

    I Want APRIL 17,1983 BACK. Christina 2019 And My HEART Still Broken.....................

  31. M.... J....

    Definitely a song for baby boomers. I had this album way back in my life when I was young.

  32. T.... ....

    Let the eternal love break your heart, then you will dance forever. When we stop chasing love "out there" and find it inside of us, this is true love - unconditional, everlasting, overflowing.

  33. A.... R....

    If you get a chance a second time round - Grab it - don’t let it go, I did the first time ...thank god I had a second chance ...undeserved but I’m forever grateful.

  34. C.... E....

    I liked two comments but I would have ended up liking all of them and liking the phone until it was a victim of the love that hurt us
    . I am just going to say I love you lovers and the songs that we love and love to philosophize on as a family of lone lovers who have no choice or defense in the pursuit of our dream and never really stop living when our hearts stop beating

  35. T.... P....

    I thought everlast made this song. First time I heard it was in big daddy.

  36. e.... x....

    kirain yg punya lagu ini the sigit, tau nya ini yang asli wkwk

  37. R.... M....

    st .ettiene and neil the king

  38. A.... P....

    2019 ❤❤❤❤

  39. M.... H....

    Beautiful! ❤

  40. P.... ....

    Beautiful video for a beautiful song. Good job!

  41. K.... O....

    One of, if not the one, of my favourite songs. Do not underestimate what unrequited or broken love can do.

  42. A.... T....

    Timeless classic never gets old

  43. D.... B....

    Love is still just a drug in your head. Helluva drug, though.

  44. C.... #....

    Love can break your heart all to hell but time can heal it. Sometimes it takes long time when it's real love. You can't rush it.

  45. A.... G....

    Bride's got a thong on her head.

  46. S.... A....

    209 Im still. . . . . Listen

  47. C.... F....

    It is a nice melody but I do believe my heart has always been broken

  48. J.... S....

    If you have never cried about somebody - for loss or joy - you've never been in love.

    J.... S....

    Was Lucky enough to see him in Nashville 3rd row at the Ryman first thing he did was Thank everyone for coming out dipped his harmonica n a bucket of water & played over 2 hrs of acoustics hits & only break he took was when he got up and sat and played After the Gold Rush on a old pipe organ! He is Absolutely Amazing!!!

    The sigit

  67. 8.... ....

    The film clip of a wedding that goes with this song looks like it took place somewhere over in England back in the late 1920's. I'm glad that the bride looks happy cause she sure ain't much to look at!

  68. B.... T....

    😊❤

  69. c.... ....

    Neil, you're always be.....young, and we, with your music.....

  70. r.... f....

    look at those people all of them are dead

  71. B.... M....

    i remember my mom listening to this song when my dad cheated on her

  72. a.... a....

    Hard to believe the first time I heard this song was a few years ago while walking down Yonge street in Toronto. A very talented street performer Steve McLaughlin who often draws quite a crowd was singing it along with other great Neil Young songs. I had the chance to do a couple songs with him and now whenever I'm in town he invites me to to a few tunes with him.

  73. 6.... p....

    still listening in 2018 late happy birth day11/12/2018

  74. B.... C....

    The Neal Young version of this song is good but the Gene Pitney version is the best by far. Pitney has a much better voice than Young. His voice is stronger, clearer and more melodious. It also has a soulful and haunting quality about it. Don't get me wrong, Young has a great voice and singing style, but Pitney just had the better pipes. .

  75. J.... T....

    Wow. That’s all that I can say. Amazing

  76. P.... M....

    Preciosa! Y veraz: sólo el amor puede romper tu corazón.

  77. J.... A....

    💜💜💜

  78. P.... G....

    Oh! So so True.

  79. j.... Y....

    I've been on a Neil Young kick lately & man o man, I'd forgotten how freaking beautiful this song was & is. Damn !!!

  80. B.... C....

    What a beautiful video

  81. G.... M....

    love is for suckers

  82. G.... M....

    If you dont love anyone you dont have to hurt or hurt anyone else.

  83. A.... S....

    this song is so great when THE S.I.G.I.T. covered this song :(((

  84. R.... ....

    And here I was thinking this song was by St. Etienne.

  85. A.... H....

    Yeah man

  86. M.... B....

    One of the best songs about love ever.

  87. w.... t....

    so hard to believe at one time this culture was capable of so much tenderness and love,at a time when this great nation was in duress ,a criminal in the white house...here we are ,in the same place...AGAIN...how is it possible!?

  88. n.... ....

    Absolutely love, love love this!!!!

  89. S.... v....

    Title is a lie, cause this song just broke mine.

  90. D.... V....

    The S.I.G.I.T bring me here...

  91. W.... ....

    A masterpiece.

  92. D.... G....

    the most beautiful raw version i ever heard was at a csny concert about 10 years ago. just neil and his piano. i swear it touched deep inside and pulled out pain i had clung to forever. the most incredibly touching music ever. that one song worth the price of admission. one of my best life experiences ever.
