Nat King Cole Lyrics

"On The Street Where You Live" lyrics


ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE
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 ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you
live!

And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near!
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly
appear!

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 won't care if I
Can be here on the street where
you live.
