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
And 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 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
