Lyrics: First verse Broadway I'll soon bid you goodbye Broadway I've a good reason why I'd stay but as much as I try My heart's yearning for a candle light that's burning I miss someone so dear to me Someone misses me too Broadway I feel that you're not real I'm mighty glad I'm through. Chorus You can have ev'ry light on Broadway give me that one little light at home I've had enough of these make believe friends They‘re all a bluff, when you're broke friendship ends How I have paid for the time since I've strayed I was a fool to roam you can have ev'ry light on Broadway give me that one little light at home. You can have ev'ry light on Broadway give me that one little light at home I've had enough of these make believe friends They‘re all a bluff, when you're broke friendship ends How I have paid for the time since I've strayed I was a fool to roam you can have ev'ry light on Broadway give me that one little light at home. Second verse Broadway you have ways all your own Broadway seems that I should have known I’ll say you are nothing like home My heart’s breaking I’m so glad a train I’m taking, Some how it all seems like a dream Your lights puzzled me so now that I’ve tried I’m satisfied I didn’t stand a show.
(Chorus)
