Wait before we take another breath
We've lived another moment of our lives
And now it's fast becoming then

Wait before you take your lips from mine
How quickly where we are is where we've been
And give is given

Once before I knew that I'd be yours
A moment didn't seem a thing at all
Just like a penny at a fair

Once I never dreamed there'd come a time
When time would need another day
Another week, another year with you

Forever doesn't mean forever anymore

Wait before we take another breath
Before you take your lips away from mine
And where we are is where we've been

Oh wait...
When you're in love the way we are
When every kiss and every touch
And every nite is like a dream come true
It's then you realize how small forever is
As I now I do
That's why I treasure all the moments of my life
With you

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”.
