1.Overture
2.As If We Never Said Goodbye
I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here.
Yes a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment.
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways,
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye.
I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now
You can't know how I've missed you,
Missed the fairy-tail adventures
In this ever-spinning playground
We were young together.
I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning,
Not long until the camera's will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making...
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye.
I don't want to be alone that's all in the past,
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last!
And this time will be bigger,
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways,
So much to say not just today but always.
We'll have early morning madness.
We'll have magic in the making.
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye...
Oh, please don't ever ever make me say goodbye!!!
3.Opening Remarks
What a wonderful week to be in New York!
The Rangers won the Stanley Cup, right here at the garden.
The Yankees are in first place; the 'Nicks' came this close, and
it is so great to be here during the 'Gay Games'!
Because for once I can walk around the city without being
recognized.
You know? -
There are enough guys in town who impersonate me that when I'm
out on the streets, nobody thinks it's really me...
Today I was walking up Broadway and a woman said to her husband:
'Look, it's Barbra Streisand!' and her husband said: 'Will you
stop it already, that's the tenth one today, this one is not
even close!'
This is...This is the city that means most to me in my tour,
because it's my home...
I was born and raised here...
(interrupted)...Pardon me...
Oh, welcome home did you say, thank you, thank you!
Yes, the last time I did a concert here in New York, it was
Central Park twenty-seven years ago...
So, a lot has happened since then...
4.I'm Still Here / Everybody Says Don't / Don't Rain On My Parade
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here!
Gold statue sometimes,
Sometimes a kick-in-the-rear, but I'm here
Now one day you're hailed for blazing trails
Next you're nailed for fingernails
Either they cheer or they jeer, but I'm here
I've heard them say song writing, acting, producing,
What makes her think that she can? Or better yet song writing,
acting, producing
What does she think, she's a man?
One day a Tony, Tuesday you're top of the Bill
So I'm here!
Wednesday you're phony, Thursday you're over the hill
But I'm here!
Now I've kept my clothes and kept me space
I've kept my nose to spite my face
Still once you say you won't
Keep your place loud and clear
Once you announce you're directing all you hear is...
Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't, it isn't right!
Don't, it isn't nice!
Everybody says don't, everybody says...
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter,
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to, If someone takes a
spill,
it's me and not you,
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, look at me world, here I am...
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
tell a story,
and this next song that I'm about to sing is from 'SHOW BOAT',
which is on its way back to Broadway after sixty-seven years.
5.Can't Help Lovin' That Man
Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you why
There is no reason why I should love that man,
It mus' be somethin' that de angels have planned.
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly,
I gotta love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day,
And when he comes back that day is fine,
The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
the movie,
because I had no idea that it came from a Broadway Show,
'cause I went to the movies long before I ever went to the
theater,
who knew from the theater.
I'd go to the Loew's Kings in Flatbush,
every Saturday to escape into a world of fantasy and also
because they had the greatest 'mellowrolls'.
A 'mellowroll' was this little ice-cream log,
a lot of you must know that,
wrapped in paper that sat on a cone,
anyway, I'll never forget, uh, when I was thirteen...
Some things improve with age...
This Friend of my named Barbara Sankell,
who knew that I wanted to be an actress,
told me about this actor named Marlon Brando,
who was in a movie called 'Guys and Dolls',
which I also didn't know that it was from a Broadway play.
And so I went to see it,
and it was truly a life altering experience,
seeing Marlon Brando for the first time.
It was the only movie that I ever sat through twice,
just to get to see him again and to have another 'mellowroll',
anyway, I'll never forget this song...
6.I'll Know
Vocal:Barbra Streisand/Marlon Brando
I'LL KNOW
I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there...
raging, and my 'mellowroll' melting all over me and I, I felt
this...ah...I don't know how to call it...mmm... chemistry...
M.Brando
Yeah, chemistry!
Suddenly I'll know...
Barbra
Hello, gorgeous!
M.Brando
When my love comes along
Barbra
Is he something or what?
M.Brando
I'll know...
Barbra
Oh, my God!
M.Brando
Then and there...
Barbra
Here I am...
M.Brando
I'll know...
Barbra
On the aisle...
M.Brando
At the sight of her face...
Barbra
My face?
Both
How I care, how I care, how I care...
Barbra
Who wouldn't care?
M.Brando
And I'll stop...
Barbra
Don't stop!
M.Brando
And I'll stare
Barbra
Well you could stare!
M.Brando
And I'll know...
Barbra
I knew from the moment I saw you
M.Brando
Long before we can speak! I'll know
Barbra
Yes'I knew
M.Brando
In my heart...
Barbra
In my heart...
M.Brando
I'll know...
Barbra
Take me now!
Both
And I won't ever ask, 'am I right?',
'Am I wise?', 'Am I smart?'
M.Brando
But I'll stop!
Barbra
Could you faint?
M.Brando
And I'll stare
Barbra
From that smile...
M.Brando
At that face...
Barbra
That face...
Both
In the throng!
Barbra
Oy!
M.Brando
Yes, I'll know...
Barbra
Yes, I'll know...
M.Brando
When my love...
Barbra
When my love...
Both
Comes along...
Barbra
I mean that she got to have him fall in love with her,
and she got to kiss him and everything!
I fell in love with you Marlon, right then and there,
at the Loew's Kings Theater, in Flatbush!
Anyway, a year later, when I was fourteen,
I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan,
and saw my first Broadway Show, 'The Diary of Anne Frank'.
I loved it but I couldn't afford to see many shows,
so when I was fifteen I became an usher.
And it was a great deal!
You got paid four dollars and fifteen cents a show, and got to
see it for free.
And then, when I was twenty-one, I actually had a show of my
own, 'FUNNY GIRL'.
The composer is here tonight, Julie Styne.
Hi, dear Julie! Isn't that lovely?
Such a great score! I love you!
And there's a song from that show that each time I sing,
takes on a different meaning for me.
And I've been thinking, this has been a year filled with natural
disasters,
and it's amazing how in times of catastrophes people do come
together,
forget their differences and help one another.
But do we always need a catastrophe to remind us that we're all
just...
7.People
People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Where children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
8.Will He Like Me?
Will he like me when we meet?
Will the shy and quiet girl he's going to see
Be the girl the he's imagined me to be?
Will he like me?
Will he like the girl he sees?
If he doesn't, will he know enough to know?
That there's more of me than I may always show,
Will he like me?
Will he know that there's a world of love
Waiting to warm him?
How I'm hoping that his eyes and ears
Won't misinform him
Will he like me, who can say?
Oh, this evening seems a million years away
It's insanity to worry so all day
I'll try not to
Will he like me?
He's just got to
Will he like me?
He's just got to
9.He Touched Me
He touched me, he put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow
He knew it...It wasn't accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, I know...
He's real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive t'wards valentining
He touched me; I simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But he touched me...He touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
'Cause he touched me...He touched me...
And suddenly...nothing, nothing, nothing is the same
10.Evergreen
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
11.The Man That Got Away
The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter;
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older -
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall;
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray.
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning.
Don't know what happened. It's all a crazy game!
No more that all-time thrill,
For you've been through the mill -
And never a new love will
Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye!
Ev'ry trick of his you're on to.
But, fools will be fools -
And where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up -
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup the live-long night and day!
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away....
The man that got away.
12.The Way We Were
Lyrics:A.Bergman/M.Bergman
Music:M.Hamlish
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
13.You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Lyrics:N.Diamond/M.Bergman/A.Bergman
Music:N.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...
14.Lazy Afternoon
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
And the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
15.Not While I'm Around
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around.
Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling I don't care
I got ways.
No one's gonna harm you
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time, nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around.
Being close and being clever, ain't like being true
I don't need to -
I would never hide a thing from you
Like some.
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time, nothin' can harm you
Not while I'm around.
16.Ordinary Miracles
Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides, often hides
Deep within our hearts
And just as
Pebbles make a mountain,
Raindrops make a sea,
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me,
Ordinary miracles
Happen all around,
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing,
Every sun that rises
Never rose before,
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door,
And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days,
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways,
Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark,
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark,
And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move,
The winds and the tide can turn,
Yes, ordinary miracles
One for every star,
No lightning bolt or clap or thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder,
Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes,
Oh, see the way a miracle multiples,
Now hope can spring eternally
Plant it and it grows,
Love is all that's necessary
Lovin', its extraordinary
Why,
Makes ordinary miracles every blessed day.
17.Yentl Medley
Oh tell me where-
Where is it written what it is I'm meant to be
That I can't dare
To have the chance to pick the fruit of ev'ry tree
Or have my share
Of ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?
Centuries,
and incredibly enough, I think they're still asking them today!
I think that's what attracted me to YENTL,
and why I had felt I had to make the film...YENTL,
as some of you know,
is the story of a girl in Eastern Europe at the turn of the
Century,
when the world of study belonged only to men.
But Yentl's father, recognizing her thirst for knowledge, taught
her secretly.
And after his death, in order to continue her studies, she had
had no choice,
but go out into the world disguised as a man...
PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies, I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye and closed its door?
The night is so much darker,
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying,
Anything I'm saying,
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember ev'rything you taught me
Ev'ry book I've ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you
Papa, how I need you
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight...
To go on with the story, em,
Yentl then meets a boy whom she falls in love with;
but it turns out he's already in love with another girl,
but because of circumstances I can't go into now,
they're prevented from getting married.
And to make a long story short, he asks Yentl, who, of course,
he thinks is a boy to marry the girl,
so he can still see her - not Yentl, the other girl!
So, the girl and the girl get married,
and if you want to see how Yentl got away with the wedding
night,
you'll have to rent the video!
It's just a variation on the boy-meets-girl-meets-girl-story,
it's very nineties!
Anyway, mmm, one night he comes over to the house to study.
But it's clear that the only thing he really wants to study is
her...
Not Yentl...Her wife, her...Get it? His eyes never leave her
face...
WILL SOMEONE EVER LOOK AT ME THAT WAY?
See the way they gaze at her,
Like slaves they follow ev'ywhere she goes.
Do my eyes forget themselves
And do I ever look at him
And smile in such a way
That what I'm feeling shows?
Sometimes I have the feeling ev'rybody knows
And even though it's crazy,
Still I can't help wond'ring if I'll ever live to see that day
When by some miracle of miracles,
He'll turn around and look at me
That way...
A PIECE OF SKY
Oh tell me where?
Where is the someone who will turn and look at me?
And want to share
My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?
The more I live - the more I learn.
The more I learn - the more I realize
The less I know.
Each step I take -
(Papa, I've a voice now!)Each page I turn -
(Papa, I've a choice now!)Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go.
What's wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for
just a piece of sky?
Papa, I can hear you...
Papa, I can see you...
Papa, I can feel you...
Papa, watch me fly!
Papa, watch me fly!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Oh, that's great! Thank you!
This current administration has been beset by many problems.
But, it's had many accomplishments,
a fact that sometimes seems to get overlooked nowadays, you
know?
I guess it is easier to criticize than to praise!
So, I'd like to sing this song tonight in celebration of every
thing
that's positive and possible in this great country of ours and
around the world.
18.Happy Days Are Here Again
So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!
19.My Man
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
It cost me a lot
But that's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
He's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
20.Somewhere
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Just hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...
1.Overture
2.As If We Never Said Goodbye
I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here.
Yes a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment.
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways,
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye.
I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now
You can't know how I've missed you,
Missed the fairy-tail adventures
In this ever-spinning playground
We were young together.
I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning,
Not long until the camera's will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making...
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye.
I don't want to be alone that's all in the past,
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last!
And this time will be bigger,
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...
Could I stop my hand from shaking？
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for？
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways,
So much to say not just today but always.
We'll have early morning madness.
We'll have magic in the making.
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye...
Oh, please don't ever ever make me say goodbye!!!
3.Opening Remarks
What a wonderful week to be in New York!
The Rangers won the Stanley Cup, right here at the garden.
The Yankees are in first place; the 'Nicks' came this close, and
it is so great to be here during the 'Gay Games'!
Because for once I can walk around the city without being
recognized.
You know？ -
There are enough guys in town who impersonate me that when I'm
out on the streets, nobody thinks it's really me...
Today I was walking up Broadway and a woman said to her husband：
'Look, it's Barbra Streisand!' and her husband said： 'Will you
stop it already, that's the tenth one today, this one is not
even close!'
This is...This is the city that means most to me in my tour,
because it's my home...
I was born and raised here...
(interrupted)...Pardon me...
Oh, welcome home did you say, thank you, thank you!
Yes, the last time I did a concert here in New York, it was
Central Park twenty-seven years ago...
So, a lot has happened since then...
4.I'm Still Here ／ Everybody Says Don't ／ Don't Rain On My Parade
Good times and bum times, I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here!
Gold statue sometimes,
Sometimes a kick-in-the-rear, but I'm here
Now one day you're hailed for blazing trails
Next you're nailed for fingernails
Either they cheer or they jeer, but I'm here
I've heard them say song writing, acting, producing,
What makes her think that she can？ Or better yet song writing,
acting, producing
What does she think, she's a man？
One day a Tony, Tuesday you're top of the Bill
So I'm here!
Wednesday you're phony, Thursday you're over the hill
But I'm here!
Now I've kept my clothes and kept me space
I've kept my nose to spite my face
Still once you say you won't
Keep your place loud and clear
Once you announce you're directing all you hear is...
Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't, it isn't right!
Don't, it isn't nice!
Everybody says don't, everybody says...
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter,
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to, If someone takes a
spill,
it's me and not you,
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, look at me world, here I am...
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a-comin'
I simply gotta march, my heart's a-drummin'
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
tell a story,
and this next song that I'm about to sing is from 'SHOW BOAT',
which is on its way back to Broadway after sixty-seven years.
5.Can't Help Lovin' That Man
Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you why
There is no reason why I should love that man,
It mus' be somethin' that de angels have planned.
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly,
I gotta love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day,
And when he comes back that day is fine,
The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
the movie,
because I had no idea that it came from a Broadway Show,
'cause I went to the movies long before I ever went to the
theater,
who knew from the theater.
I'd go to the Loew's Kings in Flatbush,
every Saturday to escape into a world of fantasy and also
because they had the greatest 'mellowrolls'.
A 'mellowroll' was this little ice-cream log,
a lot of you must know that,
wrapped in paper that sat on a cone,
anyway, I'll never forget, uh, when I was thirteen...
Some things improve with age...
This Friend of my named Barbara Sankell,
who knew that I wanted to be an actress,
told me about this actor named Marlon Brando,
who was in a movie called 'Guys and Dolls',
which I also didn't know that it was from a Broadway play.
And so I went to see it,
and it was truly a life altering experience,
seeing Marlon Brando for the first time.
It was the only movie that I ever sat through twice,
just to get to see him again and to have another 'mellowroll',
anyway, I'll never forget this song...
6.I'll Know
Vocal：Barbra Streisand／Marlon Brando
I'LL KNOW
I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there...
raging, and my 'mellowroll' melting all over me and I, I felt
this...ah...I don't know how to call it...mmm... chemistry...
M.Brando
Yeah, chemistry!
Suddenly I'll know...
Barbra
Hello, gorgeous!
M.Brando
When my love comes along
Barbra
Is he something or what？
M.Brando
I'll know...
Barbra
Oh, my God!
M.Brando
Then and there...
Barbra
Here I am...
M.Brando
I'll know...
Barbra
On the aisle...
M.Brando
At the sight of her face...
Barbra
My face？
Both
How I care, how I care, how I care...
Barbra
Who wouldn't care？
M.Brando
And I'll stop...
Barbra
Don't stop!
M.Brando
And I'll stare
Barbra
Well you could stare!
M.Brando
And I'll know...
Barbra
I knew from the moment I saw you
M.Brando
Long before we can speak! I'll know
Barbra
Yes'I knew
M.Brando
In my heart...
Barbra
In my heart...
M.Brando
I'll know...
Barbra
Take me now!
Both
And I won't ever ask, 'am I right？',
'Am I wise？', 'Am I smart？'
M.Brando
But I'll stop!
Barbra
Could you faint？
M.Brando
And I'll stare
Barbra
From that smile...
M.Brando
At that face...
Barbra
That face...
Both
In the throng!
Barbra
Oy!
M.Brando
Yes, I'll know...
Barbra
Yes, I'll know...
M.Brando
When my love...
Barbra
When my love...
Both
Comes along...
Barbra
I mean that she got to have him fall in love with her,
and she got to kiss him and everything!
I fell in love with you Marlon, right then and there,
at the Loew's Kings Theater, in Flatbush!
Anyway, a year later, when I was fourteen,
I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan,
and saw my first Broadway Show, 'The Diary of Anne Frank'.
I loved it but I couldn't afford to see many shows,
so when I was fifteen I became an usher.
And it was a great deal!
You got paid four dollars and fifteen cents a show, and got to
see it for free.
And then, when I was twenty-one, I actually had a show of my
own, 'FUNNY GIRL'.
The composer is here tonight, Julie Styne.
Hi, dear Julie! Isn't that lovely？
Such a great score! I love you!
And there's a song from that show that each time I sing,
takes on a different meaning for me.
And I've been thinking, this has been a year filled with natural
disasters,
and it's amazing how in times of catastrophes people do come
together,
forget their differences and help one another.
But do we always need a catastrophe to remind us that we're all
just...
7.People
People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Where children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
8.Will He Like Me？
Will he like me when we meet？
Will the shy and quiet girl he's going to see
Be the girl the he's imagined me to be？
Will he like me？
Will he like the girl he sees？
If he doesn't, will he know enough to know？
That there's more of me than I may always show,
Will he like me？
Will he know that there's a world of love
Waiting to warm him？
How I'm hoping that his eyes and ears
Won't misinform him
Will he like me, who can say？
Oh, this evening seems a million years away
It's insanity to worry so all day
I'll try not to
Will he like me？
He's just got to
Will he like me？
He's just got to
9.He Touched Me
He touched me, he put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow
He knew it...It wasn't accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, I know...
He's real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive t'wards valentining
He touched me; I simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But he touched me...He touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
'Cause he touched me...He touched me...
And suddenly...nothing, nothing, nothing is the same
10.Evergreen
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
11.The Man That Got Away
The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter;
The winds grow colder
And suddenly you're older -
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall;
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray.
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen the final inning.
Don't know what happened. It's all a crazy game!
No more that all-time thrill,
For you've been through the mill -
And never a new love will
Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye!
Ev'ry trick of his you're on to.
But, fools will be fools -
And where's he gone to？
The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up -
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup the live-long night and day!
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman looking for
The man that got away....
The man that got away.
12.The Way We Were
Lyrics：A.Bergman／M.Bergman
Music：M.Hamlish
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
13.You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Lyrics：N.Diamond／M.Bergman／A.Bergman
Music：N.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...
14.Lazy Afternoon
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
And the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me
15.Not While I'm Around
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around.
Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling I don't care
I got ways.
No one's gonna harm you
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time, nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around.
Being close and being clever, ain't like being true
I don't need to -
I would never hide a thing from you
Like some.
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time, nothin' can harm you
Not while I'm around.
16.Ordinary Miracles
Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides, often hides
Deep within our hearts
And just as
Pebbles make a mountain,
Raindrops make a sea,
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me,
Ordinary miracles
Happen all around,
Just by giving and receiving
Comes belonging and believing,
Every sun that rises
Never rose before,
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door,
And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days,
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways,
Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark,
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark,
And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move,
The winds and the tide can turn,
Yes, ordinary miracles
One for every star,
No lightning bolt or clap or thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder,
Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes,
Oh, see the way a miracle multiples,
Now hope can spring eternally
Plant it and it grows,
Love is all that's necessary
Lovin', its extraordinary
Why,
Makes ordinary miracles every blessed day.
17.Yentl Medley
Oh tell me where-
Where is it written what it is I'm meant to be
That I can't dare
To have the chance to pick the fruit of ev'ry tree
Or have my share
Of ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility？
Centuries,
and incredibly enough, I think they're still asking them today!
I think that's what attracted me to YENTL,
and why I had felt I had to make the film...YENTL,
as some of you know,
is the story of a girl in Eastern Europe at the turn of the
Century,
when the world of study belonged only to men.
But Yentl's father, recognizing her thirst for knowledge, taught
her secretly.
And after his death, in order to continue her studies, she had
had no choice,
but go out into the world disguised as a man...
PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME？
Papa, can you hear me？
Papa, can you see me？
Papa, can you find me in the night？
Papa, are you near me？
Papa, can you hear me？
Papa, can you help me not be frightened？
Looking at the skies, I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours？
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye and closed its door？
The night is so much darker,
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice？
Can you hear me praying,
Anything I'm saying,
Even though the night is filled with voices？
I remember ev'rything you taught me
Ev'ry book I've ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead？
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you
Papa, how I need you
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight...
To go on with the story, em,
Yentl then meets a boy whom she falls in love with;
but it turns out he's already in love with another girl,
but because of circumstances I can't go into now,
they're prevented from getting married.
And to make a long story short, he asks Yentl, who, of course,
he thinks is a boy to marry the girl,
so he can still see her - not Yentl, the other girl!
So, the girl and the girl get married,
and if you want to see how Yentl got away with the wedding
night,
you'll have to rent the video!
It's just a variation on the boy-meets-girl-meets-girl-story,
it's very nineties!
Anyway, mmm, one night he comes over to the house to study.
But it's clear that the only thing he really wants to study is
her...
Not Yentl...Her wife, her...Get it？ His eyes never leave her
face...
WILL SOMEONE EVER LOOK AT ME THAT WAY？
See the way they gaze at her,
Like slaves they follow ev'ywhere she goes.
Do my eyes forget themselves
And do I ever look at him
And smile in such a way
That what I'm feeling shows？
Sometimes I have the feeling ev'rybody knows
And even though it's crazy,
Still I can't help wond'ring if I'll ever live to see that day
When by some miracle of miracles,
He'll turn around and look at me
That way...
A PIECE OF SKY
Oh tell me where？
Where is the someone who will turn and look at me？
And want to share
My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility？
The more I live - the more I learn.
The more I learn - the more I realize
The less I know.
Each step I take -
(Papa, I've a voice now!)Each page I turn -
(Papa, I've a choice now!)Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go.
What's wrong with wanting more？
If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for
just a piece of sky？
Papa, I can hear you...
Papa, I can see you...
Papa, I can feel you...
Papa, watch me fly!
Papa, watch me fly!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Oh, that's great! Thank you!
This current administration has been beset by many problems.
But, it's had many accomplishments,
a fact that sometimes seems to get overlooked nowadays, you
know？
I guess it is easier to criticize than to praise!
So, I'd like to sing this song tonight in celebration of every
thing
that's positive and possible in this great country of ours and
around the world.
18.Happy Days Are Here Again
So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!
19.My Man
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
It cost me a lot
But that's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
He's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
20.Somewhere
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Just hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...
