(Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe)
|
Oh, the towering feeling
|
Just to know somehow you are near
|
|
I have often walked on 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
|
|
For 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
|
