Words by Al Dubin and Music by Harry Warren |
|
I walk along the street of sorrow |
|
The boulevard of broken dreams |
|
Where gigolo and gigolette |
|
Can take a kiss without regret |
|
So they forget their broken dreams |
|
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow |
|
When you behold your shattered schemes |
|
Gigolo and gigolette |
|
Wake up to find their eyes are wet |
|
With tears that tell of broken dreams |
|
Here is where you'll always find me |
|
Always walking up and down |
|
But I left my soul behind me |
|
In an old cathedral town |
|
The joy that you find here you borrow |
|
You cannot keep it long it seems |
|
Gigolo and gigolette |
|
Still sing a song and dance along |
|
The boulevard of broken dreams |
|
Here is where you'll always find me |
|
Always walking up and down |
|
For I left my soul behind me |
|
In an old cathedral town |
|
The joy that you find here you borrow |
|
You cannot keep it long it seems |
|
But gigolo and gigolette |
|
Still sing a song and dance along |
|
The boulevard of broken dreams |
