The Boulevard of Broken Dreams

You know it’s a warning sign when you start to hear Chet Baker’s Little Girl Blue moaning from your iPod. That, and the angelwings picture starts to appear on your YM. And then, the songs trickle down to Stacey Kent’s So Romantic, or The Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Diana Krall.

The Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk along the street of sorrow
The boulevard of broken dreams
Where gigolo and gigalette
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 gigalette
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 that you find here you borrow
You cannot keep it long it seems
But gigolo and gigalette
Still sing a song and dance along
Boulevard of broken dreams
