"You're Breaking My Heart" is a popular song, which was first published in 1948. Though credited to Pat Genaro and Sunny Skylar,[1] (with acknowledgements to the owners of the copyright in "Tis the Day") the song is an English version of the famous Italian song "Mattinata"[2] written by Ruggero Leoncavallo at the beginning of the 20th century; that song had lapsed into the public domain in the United States by the time this English song was set to its tune.
