This is me talking to you
Tell me what your heart can do?
And take me by surprise
Whatever you see, you'll never be alone with me
I close or open the door
Telling you that less is more
You cannot disguise whatever you do
No one is above the law
In these dark and troubled times
People just surviving, we live a double life
You'd be safe and warm at home
Something else is going on
We don't have to kiss
And say no more about it
And if your eyes are watching me
Baby, life could be so beautiful
And we become invisible
The pleasure is the punishment for the crime
Break away the chains that bind
It's not enough to be satisfied
It's knowing how it all begins
Or knowing where the heart belongs
And we all make mistakes
It's your heart and my heart
And no one can take part
And our love, love above the law
So you decide we go insane
I know what you came here for
Whether you're mine, I'll never be sure
We'll ever be above the law
On this dark and stormy night
Where these walls may hide us
(The walls may hide us)
You sigh and let me in
You let me hold you in these arms of mine
(One flame inside)
Tomorrow is eternity
(Temtation eyes)
And we may get to kiss and say no more about it
(No tears to cry)
And if my eyes are watching you
Baby, life could be so beautiful
(So beautiful)
And everything is possible
(Everything is possible)
And we become invisible
(We become invisible)
It's your heart and my heart
And no one can take part
I'll always be with you
It's what I'm living for
The end of my rainbow
Is outside your window
And our love is one love
Love above the law
(Love above the law)
It's your heart and my heart
And no one can take part
I'll always be with you
It's what I'm living for
(It's what I'm living for)
The end of my rainbow
Is outside your window

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”.
