If I didn't love you
I'd be safe from harm
I would never find myself
Lost inside your arms
If I didn't love you
I'd never feel the pain
Of sunny days without you
Drowning in the rain
If I didn't love you...

If I didn't love you
Peace would rule the day
All the dark and out would surely go away
If I didn't love you
I wouldn't pay the cost
Of living every endless day
If our love is lost
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...

And yet you make me breathless
At the way you move
I never knew that I
Could ever love the way we do
I don't know how you reach me
In that place in my heart
Belonging to only you

If I didn't love you
I wouldn't lose control
The danger loving brings a word
Never touch my soul
If I didn't love you
Perhaps I wouldn't die
If you should ever say to me
"I'm sorry, goodbye."
If I didn't love you...

How can there be music
In the way you touch?
I can't believe that somehow
I believe in you so much
Now you've come and taught me
How to give you my heart
And make me feel at last
That the end will never start
You're the only reason
I'm not afraid to fall
For if I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't love at all

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
