The Second Barbra

Barbra Streisand The Second Barbra Lyrics
1.Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home

Lyrics:J.Mercer/H.Arlen
Music:J.Mercer/H.Arlen

Free an' easy,
That's my style,
Howdy do me,
Watch me smile,
But fare the well me after while,
'Cause I gotta roam
An' any place I hang my hat is home!

Sweetenin' water,
Cherry wine,
Thank you kindly,
Suits me fine,
Kansas City, even Caroline,
That's my honeycomb,
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.

Birds roostin' in a tree pick up an' go,
An' the goin' proves that's how it oughta to be,
I pick up too when the spirit moves me.

Cross the river, round the bend,
Howdy stranger,
So long friend,
There's a voice in the lonesome win'
Keeps whisperin' roam!

I'm going where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is,
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home.


2.Right As The Rain

Right as the rain
That falls from above
So real, so right as our love
It came like the spring
that breaks through the snow
I can't say what it may bring
I only know...I only know...
It's right to believe
Whatever gave your eyes this glow
Whatever gave my heart this song
Can't be wrong
It's right as the rain
That falls from above
And fills the world
With a blue of our love
As rain must fall
And day must dawn
This love...This love...
Must go on.


3.Down With Love

Lyrics:E.Y.Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen

Down with love
With flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love
The root of all midnight blues
Down with things
That give you that well-known pain
Take that moon
Wrap it in cellophane

Down with love let's liquidate
All it's friends
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends
Down with songs
That mourn about night and day
Down with love
Take it away, away

Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
To bees and the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love

Down with love
Liquidate all it's friends
Like moon, June, roses
And rainbow's ends
Down with song
That mourns about night and day
You are the one...
And I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you
Ah, the promised kiss of Spring is here...
What does my heart go dancin' overhead...
On the ceiling near my bed...
We go now...
Because I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me
I tell them: You say either - I say i-ther
You say neither, I say neither - I say ni-ther
Either, i-ther
Neither, ni-ther
Let's call the whole thing off!

Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds
And the bees and the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove...

Down, down, down
I go on round and round
I go in a spin
Hey, in the spin, I'm in!
What is this thing...
What is this thing called love?


4.Who Will Buy?(From'Oliver')

Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it all with a ribbon?
And put it in a box for me
So I can sit at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I can keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long.
Who will buy this wonderful feeling?
I'm so high I swear I could fly, me oh my!
I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do to keep the sky so blue?
There must be someone who will buy!


5.When The Sun Comes Out

Lyrics:Harold Arlen
Music:Harold Arlen

When the sun comes out
And that rain stops beatin' on my window pane,
When the sun comes out
There'll be bluebirds 'round my door, singin' like they did
before

That ol' storm broke out
And my gal walked off and left me in the rain.
Though she's gone, I doubt
If she'll stay away for good -- I'd stop livin' if she should.

Love is funny,
it's not always peaches, cream and honey.
Just when everything looked bright and sunny,
Suddenly the cyclone came -- I'll never be the same

Til that sun comes out
And the rain stops beatin' on my window pane.
If my heart holds out,
Let it rain and let it pour; it may not be long before
There's a knockin' at my door --

Then you'll know the one I love walked in
When the sun comes out.


6.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!


7.My Coloring Book

For those who fancy coloring book
As certain people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room I sleep in
Walk in and weep in
Hiding that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one I depended upon
Color him gone...


8.I Don't Care Much

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way
Hearts grow had
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet me
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair,
I don't care very much
I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care
Very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care
Very much...


9.Lover, Come Back To Me

Sky was blue and high above
The moon was new, so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, where can you be
It came at last love had its day
The day is past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine is singing
Lover, come to me
I remember every little thing we used to to
I'm lonely
Every road I walked alone,
I walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover,, come to me
When I remember every little thing we used to do
Oh...I'm lonely
Every road I walked alone I walked along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while I'm standing here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover, get here to me...
Now!!!


10.I Stayed Too Long At The Fair

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 bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
But I couldn't find anybody to care;
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud,
Your little girl and kingdom is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear, You never could have known
That I would be successful, yet so very much alone...
I wanted to live in a carnival city,
With laughter and love everywhere;
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
I wanted somebody to care;
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now I discover them no longer blue...
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me,
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?


11.Like A Straw In The Wind

Like a straw in the wind
I go whirling around
Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly
Feet are not on the ground
Drift from pillar to post
So helplessly
What wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
Hmm... nothing you try to do
Helps you to comfort your heart
Don't yo' heart get all the bricks
Where your hopes come unpinned
Trouble steps in and make
You feel like a straw in the wind
Like a straw in the wind
Free and easy
That's my style
I go whirling around
Howdy-do me?
Watch me smile
Like a bird who's just learned to fly
Fare-the-well me after a while
Feet are not on the ground
So I gotta roam
Drift from pillar to post
Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
So helplessly
Thank you kindly suits me fine
What I wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
So any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go
And the goin' proves
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too
When the spirit moves me
Cross the river, run the bend
Howdy stranger?
So long friend
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
I hear a-whisperin' roam
I'm goin' where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is...
Cause any place I hang my hat is home!
