The Boulevard of Broken Dreams Lyrics

[Verse]
I walk along the street of sorrow
The boulevard of broken dreams
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
And so forget their broken dreams

[Chorus]
You laugh today 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

[Post-Chorus]
"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"

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
"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"

[Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
