I have often walked down this __(1)street__ before,
But the pavement always stayed beneath my __(2)_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 __(3)_heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of __(4)every__ door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!

And, oh, the towering _feeling_(5)__
Just to know somehow you are _know_(6)__ ;
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly _near_(7)__ !

People stop and __(8)_stare_ . They don't bother me,
For there's nowhere else on Earth that I would __rather(9)__ be.
Let the __(10)__time go by. I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.
