I'm looking for that lonely street I've got a sad, sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's that place called lonely street A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and memories meet Where's this place called lonely street Perhaps upon that lonely street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love die If I could find that lonely street Where and by chance someone I'd need Someone who feel the way I do And knows just what false love can do Perhaps upon that lonely street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love die A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and memories meet Where's this place called lonely street
