|
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.
