Chorus:

I have often walked down the street before,
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live.

 

Bridge:
And Oh, the towering feeling,
Just to know somehow you are near!
The overpowering feeling,
That any second you may suddenly appear!

 

Chorus:
People stop and stare, They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I,

Can be here on the street where you live.
