C, F, G, C

          Am                                C
I have often walked down this street before; 
            G                                                       C
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before. 
         F                          C
All at once am I Several stories high. 
              F               G                        Am
Knowing I'm on the street where you live. 
                                         C
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town? 
              G                                  C
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? 
             F                                  C
Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door? 
            F                G                        C
No, it's just on the street where you live! 

       Em                       D
And oh! The towering feeling 
           G                                   F
Just to know somehow you are near. 
       C                   D
The overpowering feeling 
               G
That any second you may suddenly appear! 

           Am                                    C
People stop and stare. They don't bother me. 
                 G                                                     C
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be. 
           F       C        F         C
Let the time go by, I won't care if I 
           F                  G       F         G    C
Can be here on the street where you live.

F, G, C
