On the Street Where You Live

On the Street Where You Live - Shirley Horn

Written by：Lerner

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

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

Here on the street where you live

Here on the street where you live
