Rickie Lee Jones - On the street where you live lyrics

( A.J.Lerner, F.Loewe )

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 tow'ring feeling

Just to know

Somehow you are near

The overpow'ring feeling

That any second

You may suddenly appear.

You know,

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.

And oh, the tow'ring feeling

Just to know

Somehow you are near

The overpow'ring feeling

That any second

You may suddenly appear.

You know,

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

Can be here

On the street

Where you live.
