On the street where you live — текст песни (Rickie Lee Jones)

( A.J.Lerner, F.Loewe )

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 tow`ring feeling
Just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpow`ring feeling
That any second
You may suddenly appear.

You know,
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 don`t care if I
Can be here
On the street
Where you live.

And oh, the tow`ring feeling
Just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpow`ring feeling
That any second
You may suddenly appear.

You know,
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 don`t care if I
Can be here
On the street
Where you live
Can be here
On the street
Where you live.
