[Spoken Intro: Barbra Streisand and Patrick Wilson]
You have to face the truth. You have to let me go
I can't. You don't understand...

[Verse 1: Barbra Streisand]
Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
And not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose
Gives me voice to say to the world:
This is why I live
You are why I live

[Spoken: Barbra Streisand and Patrick Wilson]
Can't you see it's over?
I don't believe that

[Verse 2: Barbra Streisand]
Loving you is why I do
The things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you, I have a goal
For what's left of my life
I will live
And I would die for you

[Spoken: Barbra Streisand and Patrick Wilson]
Don't say that
Then say you don't love me
But you know I do

[Verse 3: Barbra Streisand and Patrick Wilson]
Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
And not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose
Gives me voice to say to the world:
This is why I live
You are why I live

[Verse 4: Barbra Streisand and Patrick Wilson and both]
Loving you is why I do the things I do (the things I do)
Loving you is not in my control (Not in my control)
But loving you, I have a goal
For what's left of my life (For the rest of my life)
I will live
And I would die for you
For you
For you, I would die for you
For you

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”.
