Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Stroll Through Sorrow: Boulevard of Forgotten Hopes
Lyrics
I walk along the street of sorrow
I stroll down a path filled with sadness
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams
This path is the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where gigolo and gigolette
Where men and women seeking love
Can take a kiss without regret
Can share a kiss without remorse
So they forget their broken dreams
They try to forget their shattered aspirations
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
Tonight you may laugh, but tomorrow you weep
When you behold your shattered schemes
As your ambitious plans lie in ruins
And gigolo and gigolette
Like the gigolo and gigolette
Wake up to find their eyes are wet
Who wake up with tears, realizing their dreams are broken
With tears that tell of broken dreams
Tears narrating the story of shattered dreams
Here is where you'll always find me
This is where you'll always find me
Always walking up and down
Consistently walking up and down this boulevard
But I left my soul behind me
Yet, I left my essence in a distant cathedral town
In an old cathedral town
The joy that you find here, you borrow
You can't hold onto it for too long
You cannot keep it long, it seems
But gigolos and gigolettes
But gigolo and gigolette
Continue to sing and dance on this boulevard
Still sing a song and dance along
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Smiling outwardly while troubles accumulate
Smiling while my woes are piling
They seek laughter, not knowing my hidden sorrows
I must be bequiling or they'll pass me by
Behind my laughter, there's a tear-filled eye
Laughter, that is what they're after
But behind my laughter there's a tear-dimmed eye
Oh, Gay Paree, you've brought me to ruin
Oh, Gay Paree, you've made a wreck of me
The joy that you find here, you borrow
You can't hold onto it for too long
You cannot keep it long, it seems
But gigolos and gigolettes
But gigolo and gigolette
Continue to sing and dance on this boulevard
Still sing a song and dance along
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams
The Boulevard of Broken Dreams is where they persist
