On The Street Where You Live
Written by Nat King Cole
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
I have often walked
Down the 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
Oh the 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
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where 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
People stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where 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
Let me be on the street where you live
