Looking For Love On Broadway

in AlbumJT

Need a reason to be here

Hoping to find it tonight

Walking alone on Broadway

Watching the people

Watching the town go down

Broadway's a river to me

Fat fish in the big city sea

Taxi cabs, limousines, submarines

Got my mind on a sweet dream

Keeping an eye on this street scene

'Cause I'm open for love

In the middle of town tonight

Had my fill of self-pity

I brought all my blues to the city

Guess I'm pressing my lucky

In the middle of town tonight

See me waiting on you to smile back on me

Child

It looks like tomorrow

It seems like the end of a dream

Dawning on me on Broadway

In the morning light it's a dream

And I'm just a fool

Looking for love on Broadway
