Recorded in 1959 when Andy Williams was 32 years old. The album "Lonely Street" is concept album much like Frank Sinatra's "Only the Lonely" in that it is filled with bleak torch songs. However, unlike the Sinatra record, this LP is a very bluesy and jazzy. The original liner notes stated that the tracks were hand picked by Williams himself, and were among his all-time favorite songs.

LONELY STREET
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?"
I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street?

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?

Perhaps upon that Lonely Street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die.

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?

Where's this place called Lonely Street?
