Frederick Loewe
On the Street Where You Live
[Verse 1]
I have often walked 'round these streets before
But the pavement always moved beneath my feet before
All at once am I multi-storey high
Knowing I'm on the streets where you live
Residents may stare, they don't bother me a bit
For there's nowhere in the world that I would rather sit
Let their time roll by, I don't care, now I
Know I'm here on the street where she lives
[Chorus]
And, oh (Oh oh oh)
Want to know what she's feeling
Just to know (Oh, oh)
For once she's near
And, oh (Oh oh oh)
What a tower block feeling
Any second she may suddenly appear (Oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
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 here on the street where she lives
[Chorus]
And, oh (Oh oh oh)
Want to know what she's feeling
Just to know (Oh, oh)
For once she's near
And, oh (Oh oh oh)
What a tower block feeling
Any second she may suddenly appear (Oh oh oh)
[Verse 3]
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 here on the street where she lives
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 she lives
