Take Me to the WorldBarbra Streisand

Released: August 26, 2016

Featuring: Antonio Banderas

Songwriter: Stephen Sondheim

Producer: Barbra Streisand Walter Afanasieff

Let me see the world with clouds
Take me to the world
Out where I can push through crowds
Take me to the world
A world that smiles
With streets instead of aisles
Where I can walk for miles with you
Take me to the world that's real
Show me how it's done
Teach me how to laugh, to feel
Move me to the sun
Just hold my hand whenever we arrive
Take me to a world where I can be alive
The world is better here
I know I've seen them both
Let me see the world that smiles
A poet doesn't count for much out there
Take me to the world
We'd be cold and hungry in the winter
Somewhere I can walk for miles
A shabby room with cracked plaster
Take me to the world
You couldn't get a job
With all around things growing in the ground
We'd end up hating each other
We'd have fights, you'd cry
Where birds that make a sound are birds
Let me see the world that's real
I have seen the world
Show me how it's done
And it's mean and ugly
Teach me how to laugh, to feel
We could laugh together
Move me to the sun
Stay here with me
Just hold my hand whenever we arrive
Stay here, I love you but we're happy here
Let it be a world with you, stay with me
Any other world with you
Take me to a world where I can be alive
Do you want the world?
Well then, you shall have the world
Ask me for the world again
You shall have the world
A world of skies
That's bursting with surprise
To open up your eyes for joy
We shall see the world come true
We shall have the world
I won't be afraid with you
We shall have the world
You'll hold my hand and know you're not alone
You shall have the world to keep
Such a lovely world you'll weep
We shall have the world forever for our own

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”.
