4 -4   5 -6   -6    
I have often walked 

 6   -5     5     4  4
down this street before

 4  -4   5   -7  -7 -7    -7   
But the pavement always stayed

 7 -7    7  -6   6  6
beneath my feet before.

-4  5   -5   8 8  -8  8  -8  7    7
All at once am I several stories high,

 8  -8   7 -8   7    -7     7   -7    -6
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

 4   -4    5-6   -6   6   -5   5   4    4
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?

 4  -4    5 -7  -7  
Can you hear a lark

-7 -77 -77   -6   6   6
in any other part of town?

 -4   5 -5   -8   -8  -8  8  -8 7   7
Does enchantment pour out of every door?

 8  -8    7   -8  7   -7      7   -8    7
No, it's just on the street where you live.

 8  8   -8  -8 7 -7   -8 -6
And oh, the towering feeling, 

-7   7   -8    7  7   -7  -6  7
Just to know somehow you are near.

 7   7  -7 -7-6 6  -7  6
The over-powering feeling 

-6   -77  -8 -8  -8  -8  -8-6-7  7 -8
That any second you may suddenly appear.

 4 -4   5   -6  -6      6   -5     5  4   4
People stop and stare, they don't bother me.

 4    -4     5 -7    -7  -7   -7  
For there's nowhere else on earth

7  -7   -6  6   6
I would rather be.

 -4  5   -5   8  8  -9  8    -8   7  7
Let the times go by, I don't care if I

 8  -8  7   -8  7   -7      7   -8    7
Can be here on the street where you live.
