Song Description
Picture an elderly Parisian woman in a quaint town. The sweet sound of the accordion player moves her to think about her life and life in general. The many heartaches from childhood days to her present lonely days.

Lyrics
Verse I
Broken dreams can happen to everyone
Broken dreams from childhood till life is done
These childlike dreams
Castles we may have built in the air
Come tumbling down
Just when we think life is rich and fair
Verse II
Children cry over a broken toy
Heartache comes to every girl and boy
Broken homes too
Love that is lost and grows cold
Those lonely hours you have to face when you're old
Refrain
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams
