On The Street Where You Live

Darling, there's the tree you run to

When it starts to rain

See the way it's filled with blooms

Such fragrant blooms

And isn't there a garland all around that window pane?

That could only be your room

This street is like a garden

And your door a garden gate

What a lovely place to wait

What a lovely place to wait

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 towering feeling

Just to know somehow you are near

Oh, that 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 don't care if I can be here on the street where you live

I don't care if I can be here on the street where you live

Where you live
