Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long
Before it's crying time
Oh they say that absence makes
The heart grow fonder
(fonder)
And that tears are on their way
To make love grow
(grow)
Well, my love for you could never
Never, never, never grow no stronger
(stronger)
If I live to be a hundred
And I say a hundred years old
Oh you say that you've found someone

You love better
That's the way it's happened
Every time before
(before)
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
(tomorrow)
Crying time will start
When you walk out
When you walk out my door
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
(I can feel it now)
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
(I can feel it now)
(I can see it baby in your eyes)
I can tell by way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time
No it won't be long before it's crying time!

Barbra Streisand

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”.
