[Barbra]
Hello?

[James]
Hi

[Barbra]
Hi. You're not gonna have to wait for me this time I'm all packed

[James]
Honey, I can't go

[Barbra]
What, what happened?

[James]
I forgot that I promised the kids I would take them to their game. They want their mom to go too

[Barbra]
Oh, of course, I understand
It's their mother and you can't disappoint your kids

[James]
We'll go next weekend

[Barbra] Okay, great

[James]
Next weekend for sure, I promise you

[Barbra]
Next weekend for sure

[James]
Do you still love me?

[Barbra]
Of course I still love you

[James]
Oh I miss you

[Barbra]
I miss you too

[James]
I'll try and call you

[Barbra]
Okay. Bye honey

[James]
Bye

I don't iron his shirts
I don't open his mail
I don't know all the jokes he tells
Or the songs he hums
Though I may hold him all through the night
He may not be here when the morning comes

I don't pick out his ties
I don't butter his toast
But I feel when he's in my arms
He's where he wants to be

We have no memories
Bittersweet with time
And I doubt if he'll spend New Year's Eve with me

I don't share his name
I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me, and I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me
And I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you?

So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But we both have the memories
I have enough memories
I've washed enough mornings
I've dried enough evenings
I've had enough birthdays to know what I want

Like there's anyone's guess
It's a constant surprise
Though you don't plan to fall in love
When you fall you fall

And I'd rather have fifty percent of him
Or any percent of him
Than all of anybody else at all

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”.
