On The Street Where You Live - 1956

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 27 Jul 2001

Darling, there's the tree
You run to when it starts to rain.
See the way it's filled with bloom.
And isn't there a garland
All around that window pane?
That could only be your room!
This street is like a garden
And your door a garden gate,
What a lovely place to wait.

I have often walked
Down this street before
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I
Sev'ral 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.

My Fair Lady is the Cockney way
of pronouncing Mayfair Lady
which was Prof Higgins intention
when he took the bet with
Col. Pickering. It is a simple pun
but it took us Brits years to get it!
