Some Good Things Never Last

Some Good Things Never Last
Barbra Streisand
It s three in the morning
You re nowhere in sight
And all that i wanted was
To be with you tonight
I ve watched love get closer
And then fade away
I ve seen you believe in me
I ve seen you trying to stay
Gut what good is holding on
When you know that all
You can think about is letting go
They say if you love someone
Then set them free
If they come back again
Then in the end it was meant to be
I thought we were lovers
I thought we were friends
I guess when reality steps in
The dreaming ends
We live for the future
We learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last
All you can think about is letting go
Be true to yourselfmy love
That s all i ever wanted you to be
Just don t forget to smile
When you think of me
I ii reach for the stars
I have got them in sight
There s someone who really needs me
Out there in the night
We ll live for the future
We ll learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last
Why can t they last?

One More Time Around

One More Time Around
Barbra Streisand
It was over we had gone
Our separate ways
There was no one we could blame
People told me love will come again
When you least expect it
It will lift you up the way it did back then
Thought it couldn t happen
And even when i had said next time
I ll never give my heart
??cause the passion never lasts-someone told me
Love is never gone
Like a light inside you
Someone s going to come along
And turn it on
Didn t want to do it
Go for one more time around
One more time like the old times
I still feel so much inside me
Maybe i ll make it better next time
It all depends on what i find
With one more try
Guess relationships are hard to say the least
??cause we make the same mistakes
But i ve got to try and get it right
Or i ll only end up like the others
Who get stranded in the night
So i m going to do it
Go for one more time around
One more time like the old times
I still feel so much inside me
Maybe i ll make it better next time
It all depends on what i find
With just one more time around
One more time like the old times
I still feel so much inside me
Maybe we ll make it better next time
It all depends if you and i
Go for one more time around
One more time like the old times
I still feel so much inside me
Maybe i ll make it better next time
It all depends on what i find
With one more try…

All I Ask Of You Theme From The Phantom Of The Opera

All I Ask Of You Theme From The Phantom Of The Opera
Barbra Streisand
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I m herenothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears.
I m herewith youbeside you
To guard you and to guide you . . .
Then say you love me every winter morning
Turn my head with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with younow and always . . .
Promise me that all you say is true
That s all i ask of you . . .
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light.
You re safe: no-one will find you
Your fears are far behind you . . .
All i need is freedom
A world that s warm and bright
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me . . .
Then say you ll share with me
One loveone lifetime . . .
Let me lead you from your solitude . . .
Say you need me with you herebeside you . . .
Anywhere you golet me go too
That s all i ask of you . . .
Say the word and i will follow you…
Share each day with meeach nighteach morning . . .
Say you feel the way i do
That s all i ask of you . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too . . .
Love me -that s all i ask of you . .

Take A Chance On Love

Take A Chance On Love
Barbra Streisand
Here i go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here i come again
I m gonna make things hum again
Acting dumb again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover i lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your feet good-bye
I ll hang ball again
I m riding for a fall again
I m gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

Never Will I Marry

Never Will I Marry
Barbra Streisand
Nevernever will i marry
Nevernever will i wed
Born to wander solitary
Wide my world narrow my bed
Nevernever will i marry
Born to wander till i m dead
No burdens to bearno consciousno care
No memories to mournno turning on
For i was born to wander solitary
Wide my world narrow my bed
Nevernever will i marry
Born to wander till i m dead.

My Melancholy Baby

My Melancholy Baby
Barbra Streisand
Why do you grieve?
Try and believe
Life is always sunshine
When the heart beats true
Banish your fears
Smile through your tears
When you re sad
It makes me feel the same as you…
Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don t be blue
All your fears are foolish fancymaybe
You knowdearthat i m in love with you;
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Come on and smilemy honey dear
While i kiss away each tear
Or else i shall be melancholy too…

Make Believe

Make Believe
Barbra Streisand
We could make believe i love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn t you? couldn t i? couldn t we?
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kissor twoor three
Might as well make believe i love you
For to tell the truth
I only tell the truth
This time i ll tell the truth
I do!

Just In Time

Just In Time
Barbra Streisand
Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you camemy time
Was running low
I was lost
The losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go
Now you re here
And now i know just where i m going
No more doubt or fear
I found my way
For love came just in time
I found you just in time
And changed my lonely life and lucky day

It Had To Be You

It Had To Be You
Barbra Streisand
Seems like dreams like i always had
Could beshould be making me glad
Why am i blue?
It s up to you to explain
I m thinking maybebabyi ll go away
Somedaysome wayyou ll come and say it s you i need
And you ll be pleading in vain
It had to be youhad to be you
I wondered aroundfinally found somebody who
Could make me be truecould make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others i ve seen

I tried to be bossbut they wouldn t do
cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults i love you still
Had to be youcrazy old youhad to be you

I Had Myself A True Love

I Had Myself A True Love
Barbra Streisand
I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that s what i kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that s the way i live through the day
I had myself a true lovebut now he s gone
And left me for good
The lord knows i don t hear those back yard
Whispers going round the neighborhood
There maybe a lot of things i miss
A lot of things i don t know
But i do know thisnow i ain t got no love
And once upon a time i had a true love
In the eveningin the doorway
While i stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung
And a pot on the stove where i had meal
Where is he while i waste the rising newel?
Where is he? why d he gone so soon?
Now there ain t no way that it used to bewhat now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There are may be a lot of things i miss
A lot of things i don t know
But i do know this now…
I ain t got no love
And once upon a time i had a true love.

Draw Me A Circle

Draw Me A Circle
Barbra Streisand
Draw me a circle that s perfectly round
One curving linesimple and fine
Now add two earsand a lopsided nose
And if you careadd some hair
Now draw two eyes and make them bright
Because they ve just seen a beautiful sight
Sketch in a mouth with a radiant grin
One coming deep from within
You ve drawn me a circle and now that you re through
It s a picture of me after being with you…

As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By
Barbra Streisand
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say “i love you”
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs manand man must have his mate
There s no one can deny.

It s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Superman

Superman
Barbra Streisand
Baby i can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I ve never felt the same
But i am not a bird
And i am not a plane
I m superman
When you love me it s easy
I can do most anything
Watch me turn around
One wing up and one wing down
I never thought i would
Fall in love for good

I m superman
When you love me its easy
My sweet life has just begun
I m in love each timei know i ll have it
Fell into my life so i grabbed it
There s nothing i can do
When i m with you

I m superman
Cause i knew it s easy
My sweet life has just begun
I m in love each time and i know i ll have it
Fell into my life so i grabbed it
There s nothing i can do
Cause i m with you
I m superman.

New York State Of Mind

New York State Of Mind
Barbra Streisand
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to miami beach or to hollywood
But i m takin a greyhound
On the hudson river line
I m in a new york state of mind
Seen all those movie stars
And their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the rockiesunder the evergreens
But i know what i m needin
And i don t wanna waste more time
I m in a new york state of mind
It was so easy livin day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now i need a little give and take
The new york times and the daily news
Comes down to reality
And it s fine with me cause i ve let it slide
I don t care if it s chinatown or up on riverside
I don t have any reasons
I ve left them all behind
I m in a new york state of mind
I don t have any reasons
Cause left them all behind
I m in a new yorki m in a new york state of mind…
