Lyrics Ben E. King

Ben E. King

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 theres 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

~interlude~

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 no where 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,

Let me be on the street where you live.
