Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Nat King Cole

(Harry Warren, Al Dubin)


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 dreams.
And gigolo and gigolette
Awake 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 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.

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 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.
