There's a broken heart for every light on Broadway
A million tears for every gleam, they say
Those lights above you think nothing of you
It's those that love you that have to pay
There's a sorrow lurking in each gloomy shadow
And sorrow comes to everyone someday
T'will come to our brothers, but think of the mothers
With broken hearts for each light on Broadway
There's broken-hearted husbands, there's broken-hearted wives
There's broken-hearted sweethearts who must now lead double-lives
And there's the boy and girl who thought twas' right to take a chance
And they all must pay the fiddler if they dance, dance, dance...
There's a broken heart for every light on Broadway
A million tears for every gleam, they say
But if you have the fire, that bottomless desire
That always yearning, fiercely churning, stomach turning need,
I't's guaranteed, you'll succeed
So will you come to battle?
With critics and their prattle?
Will you join in Apollo's rendezvous?
Then you will join the greats on old Broadway
Then we will join the greats on old Broadway!
Songwriters: Fred Fisher / Howard Johnson
