Rickie Lee Jones
On The Street Where You Live
[Verse 1]
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

[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 on the street where you live

[Bridge]
And oh, the tow'ring feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpow'ring feeling
That any second you may appear

[Verse 3]
You know people stop and stare
They don't bother me
There's nowhere else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by
I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
Can be here on the street where you live
[Scatting]

[Bridge]
And oh, the tow'ring feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpow'ring feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear

[Verse 4]
You know people stop and stare
They don't bother me
There's nowhere else on earth
That I would rather be
Let the time go by
I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
Can be here on the street where you live
