( A.J.Lerner, F.Loewe )



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. 



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

Can be here 

On the street 

Where you live.
