BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS
(Harry Warren - Al Dubin)
« © '34 WB Music, ASCAP »
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 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
(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 gigolette still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams (the boulevard of broken dreams)

BUT WHERE ARE YOU
(Irving Berlin)
« © '34 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
The moon is high the sky is blue
And here am I but where are you
The night like this was meant for two
And I am here but where are you
Have you forgotten the night that we met
With so much to remember how could you forget
The dreams I dream have yet to come true
My dreams and I are here but where are you
Have you forgotten the night that we met...

I'LL WALK ALONE
(Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne)
« © '57 Morley Music, ASCAP »
I'll walk alone because to tell you the truth I'll be lonely
I don't mind being lonely when my heart tells me you are lonely too
I'll walk alone they'll ask me why and I'll tell them I'd rather
There are dreams I must gather
Dreams we fashioned the night you held me tight
I'll always be near you wherever you are each night in every prayer
If you'll call I'll hear you no matter how far
Just close your eyes and I'll be there
Please walk along and send your love and your kisses to guide me
Till you're walking beside I'll walk alone
(I'll always be near you wherever you are each night in every prayer)
If you'll call I'll hear you...

STORMY WEATHER
(Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen)
« © '33 Ted Koehler Music, ASCAP / SA Music, ASCAP »
(Keep rainin' all the time keep rainin' all the time
Keep rainin' all the time all the time)
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Life is bare gloom and mis'ry everywhere stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time the time so weary all the time
When she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on everything I had is gone stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time keeps rainin' all the time

IT ALL COMES BACK TO ME NOW
(Joan Whitney - Alex Kramer - Hy Zaret)
« © '57 Argosy Music, ASCAP / Kramer-Whitney Inc, ASCAP »
It all comes back to me now
A stary summer sky a laughing you and I alone
It all comes back to me now
A sea of midnight blue your face up lifted to my own
We call at a thrill of the moment and blame the moon up above
We didn't know what the glow meant we never dreamed it might be love
It all comes back to me now
The love I threw away and now each lonely night I'll pray
That it will all come back to me someday
[ piano ]
We never dreamed it might be love
It all comes back to me now
The love I threw away and now each lonely night I'll pray
That it will all come back to me someday

AMONG MY SOUVENIRS
(Horatio Nichols - Edgar Leslie)
« © '27 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / EMI April Music, ASCAP / Edgar Leslie Music, ASCAP »
There's nothing left for me of days that used to be
I lived in memory among my souvenirs
Some letters tied with blue a photograph or two
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest
And though they do their best to give me consolation
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start
I found a broken heart among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest...

ME AND MY SHADOW
(Fred Rose - Al Jolson - Dave Dreyer)
« © '57 Bourne Co, ASCAP / Larry Spier Inc, ASCAP »
Me and my shadow strolling down the avenue
Oh me and my shadow not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never nod cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow all alone and feeling blue
[ guitar ]
And when it's twelve o'clock...

OUT IN THE COLD AGAIN
(Ted Koehler - Ruby Bloom)
« © '57 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Ted Koehler Music, ASCAP »
The song that you sang so sweetly you called it our love refrain
It's gone and I'm left completely out in the cold again
I dreamed that our love would linger but just memories remain
I gaze at a ringless finger out in the cold again
True it hurts my pride to step aside for somebody new
But deep down inside my whole world depended on you
I wanted your arms around me to shelter me from the rain
But now I'm back where you found me out in the cold again
[ guitar ]
I wanted your arms all around me...

IT'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN
(Jay Livingston - Marty Symes - Al Neiburg)
« © '50 Hallmark Music, ASCAP / Music Sales, ASCAP »
I can't show my face can't go anyplace
People stop and stare it's so hard to bear
Everybody knows you left me it's the talk of the town
Everytime we meet my heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak know it's just a week
Everybody knows you left me it's the talk of the town
We send our invitations to friends and relations
Annoncing our wedding day
Friends and our relations gave congratulations
How can you face them what can you say
Let's make up sweetheart we can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride keep you from my side
How can love like ours be ended it's the talk of the town
We send our invitations to friends and relations...

WHEN I LOST YOU
(Irving Berlin)
« © '55 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
I lost the sunshine and roses I lost the heaven of blue
I lost the beautiful rainbow I lost the morning dew
I lost the angels who gave me summer the whole winter through
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness when I lost you
[ guitar ]
I lost the gladness that turned into sadness when I lost you

I'LL NEVER SMILE AGAIN
(Ruth Lowe)
« © '57 MCA Music, ASCAP »
I'll never smile again until I smile at you
I'll never laught again what good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes my heart would realize
That our romance is through
I'll never love again I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again to somebody new
Within my heart I know I will never start
To smile again until I smile at you
[ guitar ]
Within my heart I know I will never start
To smile again until I smile at you

HERE AM I BROKEN HEARTED
(B.G. DeSylva - Lew Brown - Ray Henderson)
« © '57 Chappell & Co, ASCAP / Stephen Ballentine Music, ASCAP / Ray Henderson Music, ASCAP »
There she is my old gal there he is my old pal
And here am I broken hearted
Mine in May his in June she forgot mighty soon
And here am I broken hearted
The last time as she said goodbye I believed that she was true
It's bad enough that I lost her I had to lose him too
There they go in their joy happy girl lucky boy
And here am I broken hearted
The last time as she said goodbye...
