On The Street Where You Live Lyrics - Don't Go To Strangers - Etta Jones

I have often walked down the 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 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 

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
