1. _ Sleep In Heavenly Peace (silent Night)
We're all very lucky, i think. the night is lovely. 'cause last night it was so humid. but tonight it's very sort of, in a strange way, peaceful...
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

4. _ A Quiet Thing / There Won't Be Trumpets
When it all comes true
Just the way you planned
It's funny but the bells don't ring
It's a quiet thing
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You think you'd hear a choir singing
But it is a quiet thing
There are no exploding fireworks
Where's the roaring of the crowds
Maybe it is the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds
There won't be trumpets or balls of fire
To say he's coming,
No roman candles, no angel's choir
No sound of distant drumming,
He may not be the cavalier
Tall and graceful, fair and strong,
Doesn't matter just as long as he
Comes along
But not with trumpets or lightning flashing
Or shining armor,
He may be daring, he may be dashing
Or maybe he's a farmer,
I can wait, what's another day?
He has lots of hills to climb
And a hero doesn't come till
The nick of time
Don't look for trumpets or whistles tooting
To guarantee him,
There won't be trumpets, but sure as shooting
You'll know him when you see him
Don't know when, don't know where,
I can't even say that i care
All i know is the minute you turn
And he's suddenly there
There won't be trumpets
There are no trumpets
Who needs trumpets?
Happiness comes in on tiptoe
Well what d'ya know
It's a quiet thing
A very quiet thing

Cry me a river
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the lone night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! come on!

Funny
Did you hear that?
Funny
Yeah, the guy said
"honey, you're a funny girl."
That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half,
And though i may be all wrong for a guy,
I'm good for a laugh,
I guess it's not funny,
Life is far from sunny,
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you,
A girl oughta have a sense of humor
That's one thing you really need for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fella said "a funny girl"
Funny
How it ain't so funny,

8. _ People
People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're 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.

10. _ 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...

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!
Let me do with you, right: "second hand rose"'[applause]
"stoney end" [more applause] ah... listen, i just gotta warn
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!
[stoney end]
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...

Money you have lot of friends crowdin' round the door.when you're gone and
Spend it ends,they don't need no more.

19. _ Close To You
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together and
Decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Just like me
Close to you
They want to be
Close to you

Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You made them all come true
When you came inside of my life
Now i'm lost
Inside of you
Lost in the music
And lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time
Hearing songs you sing
Feeling love you bring
Darling being close to you
Made all my dreams come true
When you came inside my life
Now i'm lost inside of you

21. _ A Piece Of Sky
Verse:
Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is i'm meant to be?
That i can't dare...
It all began the day i found
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky.
I stepped outside and looked around,
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high.
The time had come
(papa, can you hear me?)
To try my wings
(papa, are you near me?)
And even thought it seemed at any moment i could fall,
I felt the most
(papa, can you see me?)
Amazing things,
(can you understand me?)
The things you can't imagine
If you've never flown at all.
Though it's safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where i go-
There'll be mem'ries that tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question yet more to believe.
(oh tell me where-
Where is the someone who will turn to look at me
And want to sahre
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!

22. _ If I Close My Eyes
If i close my eyes
I can fly,
If i close my eyes
If i close my eyes
I can fly,
I can drink the rain
And taste the sky,
I can catch the wind
And make it mine
Like the sun
I shine.
Suddenly a door
Opens wide
To a thousand paths
I've never tried
"follow follow me"
I hear them say
And you'll find
Your way
Maybe dream's a dream
So that we can see
Just how real the dawn
Can be.
All the dawn can be
Comes as no surprise
If i simply close my eyes.

30. _ What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life?
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me.
All the seasons and the times of your days.
All the nickels and the dimes of your days.
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days.
All begin and end with me.
I want to see your face,
In every kind of light,
In fields of gold and
Forests of the night;
And when you stand before
The candles on a cake.
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make.
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes,
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes,
It may take a kiss or two..
Through all of my life..
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life,
All i ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you.

31. _ Medley (from My Name Is Barbra, Two...)
I'm wearing second hand shoes
Second hand hose
All the girls hand me
Their second hand clothes
Even my pajamas when i darn 'em
Have somebody else's
Initials on 'em
Second hand rings
Mmm... second hand things
I never get what other girlies do
Once while strolling
Through the ritz a girl got my goat...
She nudged her friend
And said oh look there goes
My old fur coat
I don't believe in
Frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife
I never was caught out
To step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find a pleasant dining on pheasants
Those things roll off my comb
Just serve me tomatoes
And mashed potatoes
Any place i hang my hat is home
Oh, i got plenty o' nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me
I got no car, i got no mule
I got no misery
Don't you see
I got no lock on my door
That's okay with me
Cause the things that i prize
Like the stars in the skies are all free
I got plenty o' nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me
Once i built a railroad
Made it run,
Made it race
Against time
Once i built a railroad
Now it's done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Say don't you remember
They called me al
It was al all the time
Say don't you remember
I'm your pal
Buddy can you spare a dime?
Nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket's
Not one penny
And your friends
Well, you haven't any
Soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody
Everybody
Is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange
Without a doubt
But nobody knows you
When you're down and out
Oh every one knows
That i'm just second hand rose
>from second avenue
Ya can't beat the egg-creams
>from second avenue
There is more between me
And fifth avenue
Than three blocks
I tell ya
Second avenue
The flowers in spring
The robins that sing
The sun beam that shines
They're yours, they're mine
And love can come to anyone
Because the best things in life are free

I'll go away
When i know i'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is

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

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

When the sun comes out
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
When the sun comes out

Singing like they did before
That old storm broke out
And my man walked off
Left me in the rain
Though he's gone i doubt
If he'll stay away for good
I'd stop living if he should
Love is funny,
It's not always peaches, cream and honey
Just when everything seemed bright and sunny
Suddenly the cyclone came
It'll never be the same
Till that sun comes out
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain, let it pour
It may not belong before
There's a knocking at my door
Then you'll know the one i love walked in
When the sun comes out...
And the rain stops beating on my window pane
If my heart holds out
Let it rain, let it pour
It may not belong before
There's a knocking at my door
Then you'll know the one i love walked in

What magic feats or wizardry and voodoo you can do?"
And who would ever guess what powers you possess
And who would not be stunned to see you prove
There's more to us than surgeons can remove
So much more than we ever knew
So much more were we born to do
Should you draw back the curtain, this i am certain
You'll be impressed with you
Well, so long doctor, see you later!
On a clear day
Rise and 1ook around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never, never heard before...
And on a clear day...on a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...

Shadows falling , baby , we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
(it oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
(it oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Oh!

Aaah!
Pulse's racing , darling
How grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
(it oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold

You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
Together
You gotta be mine
We take it away

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la
Long ago there were three pigs
Little handsome piggy wigs
For the big, bad the very big, very bad wolf,
They did not give three figs
Number one was very gay
And he built his house with hay
With a hey hey toot he blew on his flute
And he played around all day
Now number two was fond of jigs
And so he built his house with twigs
Hey, diddle diddle he played on his fiddle
And danced with lady pigs
Number three said: "nix on tricks,
I shall build my house with bricks!"
He had no chance to sing or dance,
'cause work and play don't mix
Ha, ha, ha, the two little do-little pigs
Just winked and laughed ah! woo!
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
The big bad wolf
The big bad wolf
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la
Came the day when fate did frown
And a wolf blew into town
With a gruff huff puff, he puffed just enough
And the hay house fell right down!
One and two were scared to death
Of the big bad wolfy's breath
By the hair of your chinny chin i'll blow you in
And the twig house answered yes
No one left but number three
To save that piglet family
So when they knocked, he fast unlocked
And said come in with me
Now they all were safe inside
But the bricks hurt wolfy's pride
So, he slid down the chimney and oh by jiminey
In a fire he was fried
Oh oh oh, the three little free little pigs
Just winked and laughed... ah! woo!
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
The big bad wolf
The big bad wolf
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la
Tra la la tra la la
Tra la la la la la la la la la la!
Who's afraid of the big, big, big,
Bad woooooooooooooooooooolf!

49. _ You'll Never Know (1955)
you'll never know u'lljust how much i'll miss you,
You'll never know just how much i care,
And if i tried,
I still couldn't hide
My love for you
You ought to know
For haven't i told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you,
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way
To prove that i love you,
I swear i don't know how.
You'll never know if you don't know now.
You went away and my heart went with you,
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way
To prove that i love you,
I sware i don't know how.
You'll never know if you don't know now.

50. _ You're The Top
at words poetic i'm so pathetic
That i always have found it best
Instead of getting it off my chest
To let 'em rest unexpressed
I hate parading my serenading
As i'll probably miss a bar
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you how great you are
You're the top - you're the coliseum.
You're the top -
Mmm |
51. _ If I Loved You
If i loved you
Time and again
I would try to say
All i'd want you to know
If i loved you
Words wouldn't come
In an easy way
Round in circles i'd go
Longing to tell you
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances
Pass me by
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go
In the mist of day,
Never never to know
How i loved you
If i loved you.

52. _ Evergreen
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 warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love
Two lives 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

Free and easy
That's my style
Howdy-do me?
Watch me smile
But fare-the-well me
After a while
Cause i gotta roam
And any place i hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
Thank you kindly
Suits me fine

That's my honeycomb
'cause 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 to be
Pick up too when the spirit moves me
Cross the river
'round the bend
Howdy stranger?
So long friend!

Keeps a whispering roam
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
Cause any place i hang my hat is home

54. _ (i Had Myself A) True Love
i had myself a true love,
A true love that was somethin' too see.
I had myself a true love, at least that's what i kept on tellin' me.
The first thing in the morning, i still try to think of a way,
To be with him some part of the evenin',
And that's the way i live through the day.
She had herself a true love, and now he's gone and left for good.
The lord knows i done heard those backyard whispers goin roun'
The neighborhood.
There may be alot 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.
In the evenin, by the doorway, while i stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept, and the clothes hung,
And the pot on the stove there a hummin',
Where is he while i watch the risen moon.
With that gal in that damn ole saloon.
No that ain't the way that it used to be
No and everybody keeps tellin me,
There may be alot of things i miss, i lot of things i don't know
But i do know this.
Now i ain't got no love, but once upon a time i had a true love

55. _ Papa, Can You Hear Me?
Prayer
God - our havenly father.
Oh, god - and my father
Who is also in heaven.
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul.
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 it's doors?
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.

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...

58. _ House Of Flowers
My house is made of flowers
The warm winds carpet the floor
Whenever there's spring showers
I open the rainbow door
The frog, the toad, the turtle
All make my home their home
My curtains are crape mottle
And the firefly flies neath my dome
I've never had money
And i'll never need none
The moon is my lamp
And my clock is the sun
My home's a home
For all those things
What grows, what flies, what sings
If it all sounds tempting
And it do you entice
I show to the heavens
That it do make it nice
Won't you come live with me
I'd come live with me,
If i were you...if i were you!

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

At the end of the baltimore run, fanny's train is leaving to go on to to chicago,
While nick must catch the train for new york and then head to europe. nick tells
Fanny he loves her and she suggests he marry her, but he wants to have a fortune
Before he does. on the spur of the moment, fanny decides to leave the tour and
Follow nick to new york. eddie who has arrived to visit tries to talk her out
Of it. ziegfeld tries as well, but fanny is intent on following nick; she has
Success in show business and now she wants a personal life as well. eddie tries
To advise her one more time, "don't", and she replies:
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!
But whether i'm the rose
Of sheer perfection,
Or freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion,
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye,
I gotta fly once,
I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, love is juicy,
Juicy, and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love,
'cause i'm a "comer,"
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
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, mister arnstein, here i am!
I'll march my band out,
I will 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 "comer,"
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade!

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!

They hold a world of charms
A place to nestle

One caress, happiness,
Seems to bless my little honey
I love him more each day
When years have passed away
He'll find my love
Belongs to him only!
'cause when the world seems wrong
He'll know that i belong
Right in my honey's loving arms
I love him more each day
When years have passed away
He'll find my love
Belongs to him only!

Right in my honey's loving arms

I mean my honey's loving arms,

64. _ 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 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

But, i'm holding on to you
Right from here on in,

You'll sluff me off
And i'll beg 'till you soften,
And ten to one i'll win
You wanna bet,
Taunt me,
Call me a pest,
But quite strangely,
You'll be impressed,
It's destiny.
Then by and by,
You and i will be we,
What a great duet,
You wait and see
Though you don't agree.
You wanna bet
You'll hold on to me
Taunt me,
Call me a pest,
But quite strangely

Just you wait and see,

66. _ I Know Him So Well
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back i could have played it differently
One of few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least i know i know him well.
Wasn't it good? oh so good
Wasn't he fine? oh so fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More she needs security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well.
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though i move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.
Looking back i could have played it differently
Could have played things some other way.
Learn about the man before i fell
I was just a little careless
But i was ever so much younger then.
I was so much younger then
Now at least i know i know him well
Wasn't it good? oh so good
Wasn't he fine? oh so fine
Isn't it madness he won't be mine?
Didn't i know how it would go?
If i knew from the start
Why am i falling apart?
Wasn't he fine? isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
More she needs security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand me
I know him so well.

67. _ Over The Rainbow
Recently i've been doing some...research for an album that i'm planning to do.and i came across what is one of the finest songs i think ever written. but i thought i couldn't sing it, because
S identified with one of the greatest singers who ever lived. but, the lyrics felt so right, so relevant tonight that...what the hell, i decided to sing it. but i would like to dedicate it to th
Nderful woman who first sang it - this woman who i had the privilege of working with and who touched me so deeply. who knows she may even be listening...
When all the world is a hopeless jumble,
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high
There's a land that i heard of once,
In a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me...
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Way above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me...
Somewhere...
Over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't i?
If all those little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow...
Why .. oh .. why .. can't i?

68. _ Putting It Together
Barbra: look, i've spent a lot of time working on this
Producer 1: look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.
Producer 2: no one in middle america, anyway. that's for sure.
Producer 3: he's right!
Producer 1: sweetheart, it's just not commercial!
Barbra: what is commercial?
Producer 2: it's not what's selling nowadays.
Producer 1: i mean - personally, i love it, but
Barbra (sung):be nice, girl!
Producer 3: nobody's into this kind of material.
Barbra (sung): you have to pay a price, girl!
Producer 2: this album needs a hit single we can push.
Barbra (sung):they like to give advice, girl!
Producer 1: the whole idea's too risky.
Barbra (sung): don't think about it twice, girl!
Producer 2: the audience won't understand this kind of thing!
Barbra (sung):it's time to get to work!
Barbra(spoken): i disagree! why don't you wait until you hear it?
Producer 3: this is like your old stuff!
Barbra (sung): art isn't easy.
Producer 3: you've got to appeal to the kids.
Barbra (sung): even when you're hot.
Producer 2: why would you want to make an album like this anyway?
Barbra (sung): advancing art is easy.
Producer 1: i think we ought to talk seriously about this.
Barbra (sung): financing it is not!
Producer 2: why take chances?
Barbra (sung): a vision's just a vision if it's only in your head!
Producer 1: nobody respects your artistic integrity more than i do, but
Barbra (sung): if no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead!
Producer 2: you have to think about you career!
Barbra (sung): it has to come to life!
Barbra (sung): bit by bit, putting it together
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art
Every moment makes a contribution
Every little detail plays a parts
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution
Putting it together, that's what counts!
Ounce by ounce, putting in together
Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art
First of all you need a good foundation
Otherwise it's risky from the start
Takes a little cocktail conversation
But without the proper preparation
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution
The art of making art
Is putting it together, bit by bit
Producer 2: do we really need all these musicians?
Barbra: link by link, making the connections, yes we do!
Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes
Learning how to play the politician
Like you play piano, bass and drums
Otherwise you'll find your composition
Isn't gonna get much exhibition
Art isn't easy
Every minor detail is a major decision
Have to keep things in scale
Have to hold to your vision
Producer 1: why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling?
What's a little cocktail conversation
If it gets the funds for your foundation
Every time i start to feel defensive
I remember vinyl is expensive!
Producer 3: would you agree to do an interview?
Barbra: maybe one!
Dot by dot, building up the image
Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay
Still if you remember your objective
Not give all your privacy away
A little bit of hype can be effective
As long as you can keep it in perspective
Even when you get some recognition
Everything you do you still audition
Art isn't easy
Overnight you're a trend
You're the right combination
Then the trend's at an end
You're suddenly last year's sensation!
All they ever want is repetition
All they really like is what they know
Gotta keep a link with your tradition
Gotta learn to trust your intuition
While you re-establish your position
So that you can be on exhibit...
So that your work can be on exhibition!
Be new, girl!
They tell you till they're blue, girl!
You're new, or else you're through, girl!
And even if it's true, girl,
You do what you can do!
Bit by bit, putting it together
Piece by piece, working on the vision night and day
All it takes is time and perseverance
With a little luck along the way
Putting in a personal appearance
Gathering supporters and adherents...
Producer 1: well, she's an original!
Producer 3: was!
Barbra: mapping out the songs but in addition
Harmonizing each negotiation
Balancing the part that's all musicians
With the part that's strictly presentation
Balancing the money with the mission
Till you have the perfect orchestration
Even if you do have the suspicion
That it's taking all your concentration
The art of making art
Is putting it together, bit by bit
Beat by beat, part by part
Sheet by sheet, chart by chart track by track, bit by bit,
Reel by reel, pout by pout
Stack by stack, snit by snit,
Meal by meal, shout by shout
Deal by deal, spat by spat
Shpiel by shpiel, doubt by doubt
And that... is the state of the art!

70. _ I'm The Greatest Star
(listen)
I've got thirty-six expressions--
Sweet as pie to tough as leather,
And that's six expressions more
Than all them barrymores put together.
Instead of just kicking me
Why don't they give me a lift?
Well,it must be a plot,
'cause they're scared that i got
Such a gift--well, i'm miffed--'cause
I'm the greatest star--
I am by far, but no one knows it!
Wait, they're gonna hear a voice,
A silver flute--ah hah, ah hah--
They'll cheer each toot
(hey! that girl is terrific!)
When i expose it!
Now, can't you see to look at me
That i'm a nach'ral camille?
As camille i just feel
I've got so much to offer.
Kid, i know i'd be divine because
I'm a nach'ral cougher.
(coughs)
Some ain't got it--not a lump,
I'm a great big clump of talent!
Laugh!
They'll bend in half.
(did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)
A thousand jokes:
Stick around for the jokes,
A thousand faces. i reiterate,
When you're gifted,
Then you're gifted,
These are facts--i got no axe to grind.
Hey, what are you--blind?
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest star!
Who is the pip with piz-azz?
Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamorous as?
Who's an american beauty rose
With an american beauty nose,
And ten american beaty toes,
Eyes on the target, and wham--
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, mr. keeney, here i am!
I'm the greatest star,
I am by far,
But no one knows it!
That's why i was born--
I'll blow my horn
Till someone blows it!
I'll light up like a light
Right up like a light
I'll flicker, then flare up
All the world's gonna stare up
Lookin' down
You'll never see me--
Try the sky,
'cause that'll be me.
I can make 'em cry,
I can make 'em sigh,
Someday they'll clamor
For my dram-er.
Have you guessed yet,
Who's the best yet?
If you ain't i'll tell you one more time.
You bet your last dime
In all of the world so far
I am the greatest, greatest star!

71. _ Here We Are At Last
Here we are at last
Children in the dark
Running from the past
Into the unknown
Secrets from the heart
Promises we make
Lips that never part
Until the dawn breaks
I can't remember feeling this familiar
I see myself becoming his
It frightens me to learn
That love is...
Finally here at last
No place left to hide
Too powerful to fast
To keep it inside
Everything's so new,
So innocent, so true
We're reaching for that star,
'cause darling, here we are
Here at last
[instrumental]
I can't remember feeling this familiar
I feel myself becoming his
It strengthens me to finally see that
Love is here at last
No place left to run
The actors have unmasked
The play has begun
Every moment true
Each day for lovers who
Have never come this far
But darlin' here we are
Here at last
Here at last...

72. _ A Sleepin' Bee
when you're in love
And you are wondering
If he really is the one
There's an ancient sign sure to tell you
If your search is over and done
Catch a bee
And if he don't sting you
Your in a spell that's just begun
It's a guarantee till the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won
When a bee lies sleeping
In the palm of your hand
You're bewitched
And deep in love's long looked after land
Where you'll see a sun up sky
With a morning new
And where the days go laughing by
As love comes a-calling on you
Sleep on bee don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the taking
I am happy at last
Maybe i dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A little sleeping bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found

73. _ Miss Marmelstein
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Oh, why is it always miss marmelstein?
Miss marmelstein? miss marmelstein?
Other girls get called by their first names right away
They get cozy intimate ... do you know what i mean?
Nobody calls me: "hey, baby doll!"
Or "honey dear" or "sweetie pie"
Even my first name would be preferable
Though it's terrible, it might be better: it's yetta!
Or perhaps my second name that's tessye
Spells t-e-s-s-y-e!
But no, no, it's always miss marmelstein!
You'd think at least miss m. they could try...
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Oh, i could die!
I'm a very willing secretary
Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
Except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment
It's great i mean simply great
But the aggravation of my situation
I might as well get it off my chest
It's the drum appellation
Oh pardon the big words i apply
But i was an english major at c.c.n.y.
Drum appellation!
Well, literally i am persistently addressed
Persistently, perpetually, continually and inevitably addressed!
Believe me, it could drive a person positively psychosomatic
Why is it always miss marmelstein?
Miss marmelstein? miss marmelstein?
Other girls get called by their nick names right away
Slightly naughty or riske
Do you know what i mean? ha! ha...mmmmmmm!
Nobody calls me : "koo-chee-koo" or "boobala" or "passion pie"
Even "hey there babe!" thought not respectable
Ain't so objectable
It's kind of crummy but chummy
Of course if i got married, that would do it
So, where's the lucky guy? ha...
Till then it still is miss marmelstein!
Everyday i get more and more fast
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Oh...oh...oh...!
I could bust!
