Broken Dreams
Ford Lita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're so broken hearted
But can I steal a little love from you tonight
I'd tell you whispers, a little story
That there's a place in my heart for you tonight
But why must we be lonely?
On this night full of rain
Hold me in your dreams
But I will never understand
Why must the rain fall down?
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Must the tears fall, misty sky
It's a boulevard of broken dreams
Yeah
I close my eyes, and it feels like yesterday
When we fought for tomorrow
And lived for the day
So sweet and innocent
Like a child with his toy
Who wishes for nothing
Left alone with his dreams
But why must we be sad?
On this night full of rain
Take me back to the king
And leave me breathless once again
But I will never understand
Why must the rain fall down?
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Must the tears fall, misty sky
It's a boulevard of broken dreams
Oh, yeah
Why must the rain fall down?
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Must the tears fall, misty sky
It's a boulevard of broken dreams
Why must the rain fall down?
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Another lonely face lost in the crowd
It's a boulevard of broken dreams
In Ford Lita's song Broken Dreams, the singer is addressing someone who seems brokenhearted and lonely. They express a desire to share love together, even if it's only for one night. The singer tries to comfort the person by telling them a story and assuring them that there is a place in their heart for them. However, the singer also acknowledges that they don't understand why there must be sadness and rain on this night. They reminisce about a time when they fought for a better tomorrow and lived for the present, innocent and carefree. Yet now they find themselves lost and alone on the boulevard of broken dreams, filled with tears and misty skies. Despite this, they still hold hope for love and connection on this broken road.
The lyrics of this song explore the theme of loneliness and brokenness, and the hope for love and connection despite these challenges. The boulevard of broken dreams is a metaphor for a road filled with people who have lost their way, their hope, and their dreams. Amidst this despair, the singer holds onto the belief that love can still be found and that they can find a way out of this darkness. The rain and misty skies provide a backdrop of sadness and emotional turmoil, echoing the singer's inner struggles. The imagery of a lonely face lost in a crowd emphasizes the feeling of isolation amidst the chaos of the world.

She may be a psycho but her ex hubby Jim Gillette was physically abusive to her. Not cool. And I like the band NITRO.
