On The Street Where You Live Lyrics - 16 Most Requested Songs - Vic Damone

On the Street Where You Live 

Artist: Andy Williams (peak Billboard position # 28 in 1964) 

Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe 

from the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady" 

Previously charted in 1956 by Vic Damone (#4), Eddie Fisher (#18), and Lawrence 

Welk (#96) 

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
