"Love Street" is a song by the American rock band the Doors. Released as the second track on their 1968 album Waiting for the Sun, its lyrics were written by lead singer Jim Morrison and as with other songs, it was dedicated to his girlfriend Pamela Courson.
The song marked a departure from the Doors' usual psychedelic style. It is a love ballad with an acoustic instrumentation. Incorporating elements from classical music, it is described by critics as having a baroque pop feel. Lyrically, "Love Street" is generally considered a simple love song to Morrison's companion, Pamela Courson.
"Love Street" was rarely played in live concerts by the group; however, one performance can be found in a concert in Stockholm, Sweden during their 1968 European tour.
