On the street where you live
LANZA MARIO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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 had my wife for over 66 years. she passed away a few months ago and I sit for several hours looking at her picture as Mario Lanza sings his beautiful love songs and all those years re-appear in my mind and such joy fills my heart as so many wonderful thoughts thrill me beyond words that could never say by themselves. I wish this precious joy to all of you who share a wonderful marriage to the most precious gift from God.
John Blasiak
God bless you dear Sir.

@John Blasiak Sir...If you only knew my precious Barbara. She was the joy of my life. My hope now is to see and be reunited with her when my time comes to say goodbye to this old world. And as that time does draw near I can hardly contain myself. Mario was my idol ,(if that is the right word to use), so My darling Barbara, When God says "come on home Clyde", after Jesus, you are the first I want to see. I loved you since we were 11 year old children and married for 66+ years, I'll be along soon my precious, and forever to be together.....I can hardly wait. All my love darling,
Your husband Clyde
