    Story Behind the Song
    This jazz standard originally was from the Broadway show My Fair Lady. The song is sung by a man from a rich family (Freddy) who has fallen in love with a flower girl. Though he does not know her true identity, others seem to find her to be crude. Freddy does not care. He doesn't even care that she doesn't want to see him. He simply waits outside her house content that he is on the street where she lives.

    Lyrics
    (Spoken)
    I have often walked,
    down this street before,
    but the pavement always stayed
    beneath my feet before.

    (Sung)
    All at once am I,
    several stories high,
    knowing I'm on the street
    where you live.

    People stop and stare
    they don't bother me
    for there's nowhere else on earth
    that I would rather be.

    Let the time go by,
    I don't care if I
    can be here
    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 nowhere else on earth
    that I would rather be.

    Let the time go by,
    I don't care if I
    can be here
    On the Street Where You Live.
