So the word is goodbye
Makes no difference how the tears are cried
It's over
And my heart lives alone
I can make believe you need me
When it's over
And we can't take it home
The fire that was burning
When all around was turning
And we were cruising for the ride

Got to give a little of the love inside
Not to take it all
And watch me fall
I got me loving you
I had you loving me

And we both played along
Love is easy on the young
Life was together
As the world fades away
Into yesterday
I'm losing you forever

I'm just an empty shell
With nothing for tomorrow
I'm here to face the sorrow
The dream we sailed was far & wide

Got to give a little of the love inside
Not to take apart
This breaking heart
I got me loving you
I had you loving me

So the word is goodbye
Makes no difference how the tears are cried
It's over
And my heart lives alone
I can make believe you need me
When it's over

And we can't take it home
The fire that is burning
When all around is turning
The dream we sailed was far & wide

Got to give a little of the love inside
The love inside
The love inside

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”.
