Verse 1
One day I had a dream
Of warm sun and blue sea
And palm trees by the beach
And there you were, you and me
Dancing through the starlit night
Making love all through the day
So we came to the city of our dreams
And walked the lonely streets of L.A.

Verse 2
We started out full of home
The world was in our heads
But all too soon it ran away
Like sand through our hands
We’d hustle here and hustle there
From dawn til end of day
But we never did get nowhere
On the cold lonely streets of L.A.

Verse 3
I walk the cold and lonely streets
A lost and broken man
Now you’re gone I can’t go on
I’ve done the best I can
So stay where you’ve gone to girl
I’ll soon be on my way
My life is just running out
On the cold and lonely streets of L.A.
