Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Alan Gordon

Producer: Charles Koppelman Gary Klein

I'm starting to walk and I'm learning to run
I'm seeing my friends and I'm having some fun
And the heartache and pain like the thunder and rain
Have all disappeared
'Cause I'm not gonna cry my eyes out anymore
There's a brand new world just waiting outside my door

I ain't gonna cry tonight
Not while the music feels so good
You've got your friends and I'll get mine
Go out and have a real good time

I'm changing my style with a positive grin
And this feeling of joy comes from within
And the heartache and pain like the thunder and rain
Have all disappeared
Cause I'm not gonna cry my eyes out anymore
There's a brand new world just waiting outside my door

I ain't gonna cry tonight
Not while the music feels so good
You've got your friends and I'll be fine
Go out and have a real good time

And the heartache and pain and the thunder and rain
Have all disappeared
And I'm not gonna cry my heart out anymore

I ain't gonna cry tonight
Gonna have a party
I ain't gonna cry tonight

I ain't gonna cry tonight
Not while the music feels so good
You've got your friends and I'll get mine
Go out and have a real good
I ain't gonna cry tonight
Not while the music feels so good

I ain't gonna cry tonight
I ain't gonna cry tonight
Learning to walk learning to run
Seeing my friends and having some fun

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”.
