Cole, Nat King - On The Street Where You Live Lyrics






ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE
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 ev'ry door?
No, it's just 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 won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

    I have never known any other singer who can make two simple words like "I have" so interesting that you cannot help but listen to the rest of song.....my all time favourite singer, and his piano playing is sublime.

    My God, if one were to say Nat has the most soothing voice in the history of music, I wouldn’t even argue with that. 👌🏾

    P.... S....

    nor would Frank Sinatra

  10. W.... S....

    This is the BEST version of this lovely lovely song. Notice the lyrics "for there's no else on EARTH I'd rather be...". Heavenly

  11. G.... W....

    Simply a great human being, with bags of talent.

  12. R.... C....

    Between stiff Broadway versions and the drunken lounge torch song versions of this very romantic song is Nat's relaxed soft, wonderful version

  13. J.... M....

    Nat's voice, velvet meets whiskey and cigarettes, is in full evidence here. And the instrumental arrangement on this tune is stunning. It starts out as a sweet, almost lounge-like ditty, then halfway through, the biggest of big bands kicks in and blows the roof off the place for all of FIFTEEN SECONDS then it's back to the lounge for the rest of the tune. Amazing.

  14. h.... ....

    Simply amazing. Have loved his incredibly velvety voice since I was 12, when I first heard him. Taken aback and loving every minute of it. Truly, the King.

  15. E.... B....

    This song, and Cole’s performance, brings joy and comfort.
