Oh, I know the past is past. The changes come so very fast, You blink one eye– Another day goes by. But the memories won’t let go, And every day the feelings grow, You think you’re strong, And then you hear one song. Faces and places, They all left indelible traces On my soul– Wherever it’s going. Faces and places, Spun my soul in gossamer laces. God knows how I miss them now. ---

There are places I remember all my life Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments Of lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I loved them all And with all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you ---

Oh, I can’t forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that’s just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows, yes, it shows I can’t live, if livin’ is without you I can’t give, I can’t give anymore ---

You sheltered me from harm. Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, Set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you And I would give anything I own, Would give up my life, my heart, my home. I would give everything I own, Just to have you back again. ---

You knocked me sideways When you said that you were leaving. It knocked me over When you cried and told the truth. And it left me speechless The secrets you’ve been keeping You’re running now, cause someone’s chasing you And you bought a ticket But you don’t know where you’re going And you won’t tell me For fear I’ll follow suit And you’re tryin’ to save me From your past of bad decisions But my decision’s always gonna be To follow you (To follow you) Never gonna stop ‘til the clock stops tickin’ Never gonna quit ‘til my legs stop kickin’ I will follow you and we’ll both go missin’ (Yeah) No I’m never givin’ up ‘til my heart stops beatin’ Never lettin’ go ‘til my lungs stop breathing I will follow you and we’ll both go missin’ (Yeah) No I, And we don’t even know where we’re going But I’m sitting with you and I’m glowing (Ooh) ---

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers I used to watch 'em through the glass Well I’d stand outside at closing time Just to watch her walk on past Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet As she made her way alone down that empty street Down on Mainstreet And sometimes even now, when I’m feeling lonely and beat I drift back in time and I find my feet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet ---

Come on along and listen to The lullaby of Broadway. The hip hooray and bally hoo, The lullaby of Broadway. The rumble of the subway train, The rattle of the taxis. The daffy-dills who entertain At Angelo’s and Maxie’s. When a Broadway baby says “Good night,” It’s early in the morning. Manhattan babies don’t sleep tight until the dawn: Good night, baby, Good night, milkman’s on his way. Sleep tight, baby, Sleep tight, let’s call it a day, Listen to the lullaby of old Broadway. ---
