Scientists tell us that our planet revolves around our sun, that other planets revolve around other countless suns ....that these are the stars we see that slowly circle our skies. I beg to differ. I know that instead, the stars leap & waltz & dance with joy over the homes of those in love.
Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
from the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady"
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
I thought the words to this song, one of the loveliest & most poignant in the show, particularily apt.
