(peak billboard position # 5 in 1959)



Where's this place called "lonely stree-ee-ee-eet?"



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 this place called "lonely stree-ee-ee-eet?"



A place where there's just loneliness

Where dim lights bring forgetfulness

Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet

Where's this place called "lonely stree-ee-ee-eet?"



Perhaps upon that lonely street

There's someone such as i

Who came to bury broken dreams

And watch an old love di-ie



If i could find that lonely street

Where dim lights bring forgetfulness

Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet

Where's this place called "lonely stree-ee-ee-eet?"



Where's this place called "lonely stree-ee-ee-eet?"
