On the Street Where You Live
Album: The Very Best of Nancy Wilson: The Capitol Recordings 1960-1976
Release Date: 6/4/07
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
And oh
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appear
People stop and stare
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by
On the street where you live
And oh
Somehow you are near
An overpowering feeling that any second
It may suddenly appear
People stop and stare
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by
On the street where you live
Baby
On the street where you live
