Color Me Barbra

Barbra Streisand Color Me Barbra Lyrics
1.Yesterdays

Yesterdays, Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days, Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine
Truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Yesterdays, youth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I, oh so glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Yesterdays...Yesterdays


2.One Kiss

One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow and nothing more
To tell him I'm own
One magic night within his arms
With passion flower unfold
But I will try to love only one man
And no other man in the world...


3.The Minute Waltz

I have got a minute, just a little minute,
I have only got a minute, just minute,
I have only got a minute that is all the time
I have to sing this tiny minute waltz
It isn't easy but I'll try it
Than I gotta say goodbye
But first I take a minute
And put in it every note that Chopin wrote
and I shall sing the little minute waltz
And hope that I can sing with no faults
and though it's difficult
I'll give it last every last breath that I got within in my body
Hope that my performance won't be very shoddy
Singing every note
I'm not the one to spoil my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course I will I've done it
an a way from that I made I will I want
It's not the money but the satisfaction that I get
from winning money on this silly kind of bet
Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention
Chopin isn't here to make an intervention
So with your permission and no intermission
I will sing each note that that composer wrote
as you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling
but no one can say I wasn't very willing
to attempt a thing that's not been done
and just for fun to sing the minute waltz
As I sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzed by
And now I ask you where am I halfway through the tune
and I'm falling far behind
I have less than 30 seconds
less than 30 seconds
less than 30
less than half a minute
I have less than 30 seconds
I have less than half a minute
to complete this little minute waltz
on every note that's in this score
While the sands of time I know are pouring
Let me win my bet and I'll run with the money
Down to something store there I'll buy a honey
of a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf show the world I won
Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile
Unless someone knows how to stop the clock
you gonna see me cry before I said goodbye
Eight little measures to complete this song
But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if
Only I can last to scale
I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!


4.Gotta Move

Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta leave this place, gotta find some place
Some other place, some brand new place
Some place where each face that I see
Won't be staring back at me
Telling me what to be and how to be it
Some place where I can just be me
Gotta move, got to get out
Gotta leave this town, gotta find some town
Some big new town, some bright new town
Some new town with new places, new lives
And most of all some new faces
Gotta find a man, a new man
A man who won't worry 'bout where I go
A man who wont ask how I learned what I know
A man who will know that you've gotta be free
A man who will know when to just let me be
Gotta move, gotta get out
Gotta change my life, gotta find my life
I'll find me a place in some new town and baby
And when I find me that new place, then maybe ours,
Gotta leave this town
Gotta leave this place
Gotta find a new man...
Gotta move!


5.Non C'est Rien

Non, c'est rien
Aussi peu, croyez le bien
ira mieux de demain
Avec le temps qui passe
Dans la vie tout sfface
Non, c'est rien
A qui bon tendre vos mains
Je ni pas temps de chagrin
C'est vous qui es tristes
Mes amis, partez vite
Laissez moi cette nuit
Sortez, mais sans moi
Allez boire ?ma sant?
Rapportez votre piti?
Vous me faites rire, bien rire...
Non, c'est rien
Aussi peu croyez le bien
Cet amour ntait plus rien
Dutre qune autre habitude
Jn ai la certitude
Non, c'est rien
Ce garn, moi je le plains
Ne croyez pas que demain
Une seule seconde
Je serai seule au monde
Laissez, laissez-moi cette nuit
Sortez mais sans moi
Allez boire ?mes amours
A tous mes futurs amours
Mes prochains je time...Je time...
Laissez-moi et ne croyez pas surtout pas
Que je vais pleurer pour
Seulement mon coeur n comprend rien
Mis ?part rien, rien
Non c'est rien, aussi peu croyez le bien
Je ni pas tant de chagrin
Je ni pas tant de chagrin
Non c'est rien...Non c'est rien
Rien!


6.Where Or When

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers

Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live to day
Things you do come back to you
As if they knew the way

Oh the tricks your mind can play

It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing are the close, you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when


7.Medley(From Color Me Barbra)

*Animal crackers in my soup, monkeys and rabbits, look a loupe!
Gosh oh Gee, but I have fun swallowing animals one by one
In every bowl of soup I see lions and tigers watching me
I'll make em jump right through a hoop
'Cause animal crackers in my soup!
When I get hold of the big bad wolf
I just push him under to drown
Then I bite him in a millions bits and I gabble him right down

*I love your funny face your sunny, funny face
Though you're no handsome Henry
Four words I'd not replace, your sunny funny face...

*That face, that wonderful face
It shines, it glows all over the place
And how I love to watch it change expressions
Each look becomes the prize of my possession
I love your eyes, your cheeks, your hair
They're in a class beyond compare
It's the loveliest face that one could see...
Were thine that special face
Were thine the forms so live so splendor
Were thine the arms so warm so tender
Were thine the kiss divine

*I was so really independent and content before we met
Surely I can always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
Accustomed to the wonderful fabulous marvelous glorious...

*Let's face the music and dance...

*You made the cope and vest fit the best
You made the linen nice and strong
But Sam, you made the pants too long
You made the pick lapel look so oh swell
So who am I to say you're wrong?
But Sam, you made the pants too long!
They got the belt and they got suspenders
So what can they lose?
What good a belt and what good suspenders
When the pants are hanging over the shoes
You feel the winter breeze up and down the knees
The belt is where the tie belongs
But Sam, Sam, Sam, you made the pants too long!

*Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat...

*We have so much in common Yes I do
It's a phenomenon
We could pull our resources by joining forces
From now on...

*It's spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again that old melody

*I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I brought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair
But I couldn't find anybody to care
The merry-go-round is beginning to slow now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There is nothing to win,
And there's no one to want me...

*Look at that face, just look at it
Look at that fabulous face of yours
I knew first look I took at it
This was the face that the world adores
Look at these eyes as wise and as deep as the sea
Look at that nose, it shows what a nose should be
As for ,your smile it's lyrical
Friendly and warm as the summer's day
Your face is just a miracle
Where could I ever find words to say
The way that it makes me happy
Whatever the time or place
I will find in no book
What I will find when I look at your face!

8.C'est Si Bon(It's So Good)

C'est si bon
Lovers say that in France
When they thrill to romance
It means that it's so good
C'est si bon
So I say to you
Like the French people do
Because it's oh so good
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought
And the thought is this, dear!
C'est si bon
Nothing else can replace
Just your slyest embrace
And if you only would be my own for the rest my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, my darling...
C'est si bon!


9.Where Am I Going

Where am I going?
And what will I find?
What's in this grab bag
That I cal I my mind?

What am I doing
Alone on the shelf?
Ain't it a shame,
But no one's to blame but myself.

Which way is clear
When you've lost your way
Year after year?

Do I keep falling in love for just a kick of it?
Staggering through the thin and thick of it,
Hating each old, tired trick of it,
Know what I am,
I'm good and sick of it!

Where em I going?
Why do I care?
Run where it's foul,
Run where it's fair,
No matter where I run I meet myself there.

Looking inside me, what do I see?
Anger and hope and doubt,
What em I all about?
And where am I going?
Tell me why do I care?

No matter where I run I meet myself there
Looking inside me, what do I see?
Anger and hope and doubt
What am I al I about?
And where am I going?
Where am I going?


10.Starting Here, Starting Now

Starting here, Starting now
When we walk, we walk together
Year by year, starting here
Starting now
When we talk
We wiII say the most with silence
When we're near
Starting here
Now when you sleep
You will dream a dream
That's free from care
For now when you wake
I'll be there so be still
Take my hand
For the greatest journey
Heaven can allow
Starting love
Starting here
Starting now
Now take my hand
For the greatest journey
Heaven can allow
Starting love
Starting here
Starting now...
