on the street where you live

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
