It's three in the morning, you're nowhere in sight
And all that I wanted was to be with you tonight
I've watched love get closer and then fade away
I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're trying to stay

But what good is holding on when you know
That all you can think about is letting go
They say if you love someone then set them free
If they'll come back again then in the end
It was meant to be

I thought we were lovers
I thought we were friends
I guess when reality steps in the dreaming ends
We live for the future
We learn from the past
No matter how hard we try some good things never last

All you can think about is letting go
Be true to yourself my love
That's all i ever wanted you to be
Just don't forget to smile
When you think of me

I've reached for the star
I have got them insight
There's someone who really needs me
Out there in the night
We live for the future
We learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last."

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”.
