Barbra Streisand - A Great Day - lyrics

Fanny & chorus
When you're down and out
Lift up your head and shout
There's gonna be a great day
Angels in the sky
Promise that be by and by
There's gonna be a great day
Gabriel will warn you
Some early morn
You will hear his horn
It's not far away
Lift up your head and say
There's gonna be a great day
Great day
When you're down and out
Lift up your head en shout
There's gonna be a great day
Angels in the sky
Promise that by en by
We're gonna see a great day
Gabriel will warn you
Somebody born
You will hear his horn, his horn
It's not far away
Lift up your head and say
There's gonna be a great day
When the skies went darker, oh lord!
Came noah's ark, oh lord!
Amen and amen!
Amen and amen!
He came in january, february, march, april, may, june
July, and august, september october, november,
De de december
It was a great day
It was a great day
One of those great days
And on judgment day
If you believe he will receive you and me
Gabriel will warn you
Some early morn
You will his horn, his horn
It's not far away
Lift up your head and say
There's gonna be a great
We're gonna see a great
There's gonna be,
Be a great day.

Barbra Streisand - A Kid Again/i'm Five - lyrics

I wish I were a kid again
Doing what I did again
Here I make my bit again
To be a kid again
Once more through the door
Once more as before
Into a land where I leave cares behind
Please take me back
There are things I must find
Oh, I wish I were a kid again
Doing what I did again
A kid again...
Im five, Im five
I am a big girl now, Im five
I can dress myself, I dont need mum
To help me anymore
And when I sit in my fathers chair
My feet can reach the floor
Im five, Im five
I am a big girl now, Im five
My mother doesnt spank me just
For going without a hat
She knows darn well Id run away
cause Im too old for that
What does she think Im three?
Not me
What does she think Im four?
Im more than four
Im even more than four and a half...
Im five!
On april 24!

Knew first time i looked at it ***youve got a face like a kitchen door to
Say that theres no one like you would not even state the case i find in no
Book what i find when i look at that face
***youve got a face like dracula and i mean that in the nicest way

Barbra Streisand - Absent Minded Me - lyrics

Absent minded me
Absent minded me
Im losing a key
Or missing a glove
Just like me to lose my love
Gotta find it, absent minded me
Dizzy dopey me
Mixed-up mopey me
Im way, way ahead
Of the game then it starts
How did I lose my king of hearts?
Gotta find it, absent minded me
Theres my key
Gee, I left it in the door
Theres my glove on the shelf
Now if I dont find my love
Ill be losing myself
Gotta find him
Gotta find him
Absent minded me
Absent minded me...

Barbra Streisand - A Child Is Born - lyrics

A child is born
Weve suddenly stepped through
A thousand dolls
A child is born
Her chin is like mine
But her eyes are yours
How perfectly formed are her fingers
So far reach, so much to know
What words will be formed by her fingers
Well hold her close
Then let her go
How sweet to find
A part of ourselves
We knew nothing of
A child is born
A child that is born of our love

Barbra Streisand - Adelaide's Lament - lyrics

(spoken) it says here in this book...
The average unmarried female
Basically insecure
Due to some long frustration
May react
With psychosomatic symptoms
Difficult to endure
Affecting the upper respiratory tract
In other words,
Just from waiting around
For that plain little band of gold
A person can develop a cold
You can spray her wherever you figure
The streptococci lurk
You can give her a shot
For whatever shes got
But it just wont work
If shes tired of getting the fish-eye
From the hotel clerk
A person
Can develop a cold
(spoken) it says here...
The female remaining single
Just in the legal sense
Shows a neurotic tendency
(spoken) see note...see note
Note: chronic organic syndromes
Toxic or hypertense
Involving the eye,
The ear, the nose and throat
In other words,
Just from wondering
Whether the wedding is on or off,
A person
Can develop a cough
You can feed her all day
With the vitamin a
And the bromo fizz
But the medicine never
Gets anywhere near
Where the trouble is
If shes getting a kind
Of name for herself
And the name aint his
A person
Can develop a cough
And further more
Just from stalling
And stalling and stalling
The wedding trip
A person
Can develop la grippe
When they get on a train
For niagra
And she can hear church bells chime
The compartment is air conditioned
And the mood sublime
Then they get off at saratoga
For the fourteenth time
A person
Can develop la grippe
La grippe, la post nasal drip
With the wheezes
And the sneezes
And a sinus thats really a pip!
From a lack of community property
And a feeling shes getting too old
A person
Can develop
A big, bad cold!

Barbra Streisand - A Piece Of Sky - lyrics

Verse:
Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is Im meant to be?
That I cant dare...
It all began the day I found
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky.
I stepped outside and looked around,
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high.
The time had come
(papa, can you hear me? )
To try my wings
(papa, are you near me? )
And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall,
I felt the most
(papa, can you see me? )
Amazing things,
(can you understand me? )
The things you cant imagine
If youve never flown at all.
Though its safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where I go-
Therell be memries that tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question yet more to believe.
(oh tell me where-
Where is the someone who will turn to look at me
And want to sahre
My evry sweet-imagined possibility? )
The more I live - the more I learn.
The more I learn - the more I realize
The less I know.
Each step I take-
(papa, Ive a voice now!)
Each page I turn-
(papa, Ive a choice now!)
Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go.
Whats wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for
Just a piece of sky?
Papa, I can hear you...
Papa, I can see you...
Papa, I can feel you...
Papa, watch me fly!

Barbra Streisand - A Quiet Thing / There Won't Be Trumpets - lyrics

When it all comes true
Just the way you planned
Its funny but the bells dont ring
Its a quiet thing
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You think youd hear a choir singing
But it is a quiet thing
There are no exploding fireworks
Wheres the roaring of the crowds
Maybe it is the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds
There wont be trumpets or balls of fire
To say hes coming,
No roman candles, no angels choir
No sound of distant drumming,
He may not be the cavalier
Tall and graceful, fair and strong,
Doesnt matter just as long as he
Comes along
But not with trumpets or lightning flashing
Or shining armor,
He may be daring, he may be dashing
Or maybe hes a farmer,
I can wait, whats another day?
He has lots of hills to climb
And a hero doesnt come till
The nick of time
Dont look for trumpets or whistles tooting
To guarantee him,
There wont be trumpets, but sure as shooting
Youll know him when you see him
Dont know when, dont know where,
I cant even say that I care
All I know is the minute you turn
And hes suddenly there
There wont be trumpets
There are no trumpets
Who needs trumpets?
Happiness comes in on tiptoe
Well what dya know
Its a quiet thing
A very quiet thing

Barbra Streisand - A Sleepin' Bee - lyrics

When youre in love
And you are wondering
If he really is the one
Theres an ancient sign sure to tell you
If your search is over and done
Catch a bee
And if he dont sting you
Your in a spell thats just begun
Its a guarantee till the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won
When a bee lies sleeping
In the palm of your hand
Youre bewitched
And deep in loves long looked after land
Where youll see a sun up sky
With a morning new
And where the days go laughing by
As love comes a-calling on you
Sleep on bee dont waken
Cant believe what just passed
Hes mine for the taking
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A little sleeping bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found
