We said we'd try again but tryin's not enough
Actin' like strangers ain't no way of making love
It's never gonna work, its time we stopped pretending
Time to turn the page, all stories need an ending
It makes no sense to stay
Living my life in yesterday
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
And I'm begging you
Heart don't change my mind
Oh heart be strong this time
And try to help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh heart, it's hard for you I know
Let me let him go

Don't let me think about how good it was before
I know you'd try anything to keep me from that door
Its hard to leave him when you've loved him for so long now
How can I walk away if he's still holding on now
I've found the strength today
Look at me I can finally say
It's over, It's over
So I'm begging you

Heart don't change my mind
Oh heart be strong this time
And try to help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh heart, it's hard for you I know
Let me let him go

It makes no sense to stay
Sad that it has to end this way
It's over, It's over'
Heart don't change my mind
Oh heart be strong this time
And try to help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh heart, it's hard for you I know
Let me let him go

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”.
