On the Street Where You Live Lyrics


I have often walked down the street before
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet beforeAll at once am I
Several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you liveAre 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 liveAnd oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appearPeople stop and stare
They don't bother me
For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather beLet the time go by
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you livePeople stop and stare
They don't bother me

For there's no where else on earth
That I would rather beLet 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Etta Jones (November 25, 1928 – October 16, 2001) was an American jazz singer whose critical success and relative commercial obscurity (she never had a hit record) earned her a reputation in her lifetime as a "jazz musician's jazz singer". She is noted for her elegant interpretations of standards, ballads, and blues. Her characteristic inflections have sometimes prompted comparisons to stylistic devices employed by Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Jones' recordings, particularly her debut record (Don't Go To Strangers, 1960), have earned wide admiration in a new generation of listeners.
