On the Street Where You Live

Music by Frederick Loewe and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, 1956

 

Chappell & Co. ASCAP

Introduced by Michael King in the Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady"
Best selling record by Vic Damone with Percy Faith's Orchestra for Columbia
Records charting at No. 4 on Billboard. It also charted at No. 18 for Eddie Fisher 

and Lawrence Welk at No. 96. It was also sung by Jeremy Brett in the 1964 

in the movie version of "My Fair Lady" and recorded by Andy Williams for Columbia

Records charting at No. 28 on Billboard that same year.

While this song may have been performed by Perry on television, he never
recorded it for RCA Victor. In the 1999 Movie "Blast from the Past", where a number of Perry's

songs were featured, it was implied by Adam, a main character within the film,

that Perry had recorded this song giving rise to many requests by Como fans 

to hear Perry's version.

 

 

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 every 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 Music by Frederick Loewe  with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, 1956
