Oh, the towering feeling
Just to know
Somehow you are near
I have often walked on 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
For, 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
