Closer, sight and the sound, roller coaster, that merry go round

We can't wait for that show to start, that fire that feeling your heart beat
We have what others can't tear apart - taking over
I fight to the end for the night of my life
And nothing can get in my way
And love is a river and river is ocean take up your pleasure and all that you cry for

I go to the wall for the night of my life
I play every game that you play
I shout out my struggles and send out a message to you
No early warning - I'm under the radar

You're closer, sight and the sound, roller coaster - that merry-go-round

And baby no one would go that far - to close all those doors behind us
Until the top of the world we climb - taking over

I fight to the end for the night of my life and nothing can get in my way
I shout out my struggles and send out a message to you
No early warning - I'm under the radar

Calling out, take me to the night - take me to the morning

I fight to the end for the night of my life and nothing can stand in my way
And love has a colour and colours are many - blue is for lonely & red is for danger

I go to the wall for the night of my life
I play every game that you play
I shout out my struggles and send out a message to you
No early warning - I'm under the radar

Calling out, take me to the night, give no early warning
Tell me what I do for you, babe
Calling out, get me to the night; tell me that you want it
Tell me what I do for you

You're closer, sight and the sound, roller coaster, that merry go round

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”.
