Barbra Streisand Greatest Hits Vol 2 Lyrics
1.Evergreen(Love Theme From A Star Is Born)

Lyrics:P.Williams
Music:B.Streisand

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They worm and excit us 'cause we have the brightest love

Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen


2.Prisoner(Love Theme From The Eyes Of Laura Mars)

I've never been wrong
But you're the the only one I trust to show me the way
I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name
What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away.
I'm like a prisoner
Captured by your eyes,
I've been taken
And I've been hypnotized.
I'm like a prisoner
Captured by your eyes
I've been taken
And I've been hypnotized.
And your eyes say everything
You want to keep me here forever, I can't escape
One minute's so sincere,
Then you completely turn against me and I'm afraid.
You don't have to say you love me,
'Cause if you want me, I'll stay
'Cause I can't turn away.
I'm like a prisoner
Captured by your eyes
I've been taken,
Taken by surprise.
I'm like a prisoner
Captured by your eyes
I've been taken
And I've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner.


3.My Heart Belongs To Me

I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart has gone to sleep
One of these mornings I'll be gone
My heart belongs to me
Can we believe in fairy tales?
Can love survive when all else fails?
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin' s gone
My heart belongs to me
But now my love, hey didn't I love you
But we knew what had to be
Some how my love I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
Put out the light and close your eyes
Come lie beside me, don't ask why
Can't hide the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me

Chorus:
But now my love, hey didn't I love you
Didn't I love you, didn't I love you, didn't I love you, baby!
Don't cry my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me...
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me...

Chorus:

Didn't I love you, didn't I love you


4.Songbird

Songbird sings from the heart
Each word can tear you apart
I sing - you sing along
You find your life in my song
When you need the strength to carry on
You've got me to turn to
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
They've helped you be strong now
The song sets you free
But who sings to me
I'm all alone now
Who sings for songbird
Sometimes
When I'm all alone
I sing my saddest song
Lonely, and no one can see
This time the song is for me
I can touch your secret place inside
And still you don't know me
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
You've learned to be strong now
The song sets you free
But who sings to me
I'm all alone now
Where is my songbird
Who sings his song for me


5.You Don't Bring Me Flowers

Vocal:Barbra Streisand/Neil Diamond)

Barbra
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
Neil
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through that door at the end of the day...
Barbra
I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
Neil
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling all right
Barbra
When you just roll over and turn out the light...
And you don't bring me flowers anymore
Neil
It used to be so natural
Barbra
It used to be...
Neil
To talk about forever
Barbra
Mmm...
Neil
But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
Till we sweep them away
Barbra
And baby I remember all the things you taught me
Neil
I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry
Barbra
Well, I learned how to love and I learned how to lie
Neil
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
Barbra
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers any more...
Both
Well, you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye...
Neil
Cause you don't say you need me;
Barbra
You don't sing me love songs;
Both
You don't bring me flowers anymore...


6.The Way We Were(From'The Way We Were')

Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

So it is the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were


7.Sweet Inspiration / Where You Lead

I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just don't go my way

Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
'Cause darling, to me that's what you're worth

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere you tell me to
If you need, need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

If you're out on the road
Feelin' lonely and oh so cold
All you gotta do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train

Where you lead I will follow
Anywhere you tell me to
If you need, need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

I'd always wanted a real home
With flowers on the windowsill
But if you want to leave in New York City
Honey, you know I will
Yes I will
Yes I will

I never thought I could get satisfaction
From just one man
If anyone can keep me happy
Oh, you're the one who can

I'm gonna follow where you lead me
I'm gonna follow where you lead me
I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just don't go my way

Oh, a woman in love needs sweet inspiration
And honey that's all I ask, you know
That's all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin'
What a satisfied woman might do

The way you call me baby, baby (such a sweet inspiration)
The way you call me darlin', darlin' (sets my heart a skating)
And if I'm out in the rain, baby (and in a bad situation)
You know I just look back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration

Inspiration, oh what a power
And a bucket of power every hour of the day
I need your sweet inspiration
To go on livin', to keep on givin' this way
Wanting you the way I do (sweet, sweet)
Only want to be with you (sweet, sweet)
Gonna follow where you lead (sweet, sweet)
Baby you're just what I need
Your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet inspiration
And honey that's all I ask, you know
That's all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no telling
What a satisfied woman can do

You are my sweet inspiration


8.All In Love Is Fair

All in love is fair
Love's a crazy game
Tow people vow to stay, in love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery

All is fair in love
I have to go away
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
All in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away the losing side I'll play

All is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
That all in love is fair


9.Superman

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 time, I 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.


10.Stoney End

Grazie Papa!
Listen, I couldn't decide which song to sing next... So ..
Wait... no, no, no, it's not as free as that, I have
a choice of two, and I'll see... I'll see which one
you like best. Wait... wait... wait a minute, let's do
it fair. It's between 'Stoney End' and 'Second Hand
Rose'. Wait, wait, wait!!!
That's too easy, now we've gotta make a choice! Wait, wait wait!
ya that 'Stoney End' I haven't sung for about two years, and so
I have the words written on the floor. So if you see me looking
on the floor... it's the words! I'll try not to look, but I mean
I
haven't sung it for a long time... okay... ready, get set, go!
Is this ''Stoney End'!
Come on!
I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe
I want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
I can still remember him
With love light in his eyes
But the light flickered out
And parted
As the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe
I want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
Never mind the forecast
Cause the sky has lost control
Cause the fury and the broken thunders
Come to match my ragin' soul
And I want...
I want... I want to see the whole morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mamma let me start all over
Cradle me, Mamma, cradle me again
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go...

Chorus:
But now my love, hey didn't I love you
Didn't I love you, didn't I love you, didn't I love you, baby!
Don't cry my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me...
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me...

Chorus:

Didn't I love you, didn't I love you


4.Songbird

Songbird sings from the heart
Each word can tear you apart
I sing - you sing along
You find your life in my song
When you need the strength to carry on
You've got me to turn to
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
They've helped you be strong now
The song sets you free
But who sings to me
I'm all alone now
Who sings for songbird
Sometimes
When I'm all alone
I sing my saddest song
Lonely, and no one can see
This time the song is for me
I can touch your secret place inside
And still you don't know me
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
You've learned to be strong now
The song sets you free
But who sings to me
I'm all alone now
Where is my songbird
Who sings his song for me
