ON THE STREET OF REGRET
(Pete Wendling / John Klenner)

as recorded by Dinah Washington
with Don Costa & his Orchestra
1962


When you're alone on the street of regret,
And your eyes are dim, ooh, and your cheeks are wet,
When you know you've been wrong and it's too late to mend,
You just stumble along, wondering when all this will end.

When you're alone with your dreams of the past,
And you realise what love means at last,
Just remember the glory
Of love's sweet story
When you're alone on the street of regret!

Just remember the glory
Of love's old sweet old story,
I say when you're alone, lord, on the street of regret!
