Lyrics

Boulevard



If I should meet you on the avenue

would you take the time for a word or two

or walk on by pretending we are strangers

on a summer Sunday on the boulevard

would you tell me life's been treating you hard

lost its mystery lost its danger



You're a gracious lady in the latest style

with your summer dress and your summer smile

and the time to forget the memories in your eye

But hold me baby you said back then

make me love you so, make us one again

don't you let me go, or you know I'm gonna die



There's a rainy sidewalk with some cafe chairs

we could take a moment, pass a memory there

if we're not in a hurry to spend no moments together

I know I'm dressed in no finery

when you come down to it I look like me

but I won't be on this boulevard forever



You had my dreams and I had yours too

can you tell me yours are coming true

have you learned to laugh, do you know when to cry

But hold me baby you said back then

make me love you so, make us one again

don't you let me go, or you know I'm gonna die



If I should meet you on the avenue

on a sunny day when the sky’s so blue

can I take your hand, see what it might show me

on a summer Sunday on the boulevard

would you tell me life's been treating you hard

or just walk on by, pretending you don't know me
