I have often walked
   Down this 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.
  
   And oh, the tow'ring feeling
   Just to know
   Somehow you are near
   The overpow'ring feeling
   That any second
   You may suddenly appear.
  
   You know,
   People stop and stare,
   They don't bother me
   For there's nowhere else on earth
   That I would rather be
   Let the time go by,
   I don't care if I
   Can be here
   On the street
   Where you live.
