The Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Nightly lights are shining brightly

Feet are tripping lightly

While the music plays

Madness in the guise of gladness

Overcoming sadness

In a million ways

Oh gay Paris

What have you done to me?

I walk along the street of sorrow

The boulevard of broken dreams

Where gigilo 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

And gigilo and gigolette wake up to find their eyes are wet

With tears to 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 that 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
