Barbra Streisand - Partners Album Lyrics

It Had To Be You

Seems like dreams like I always had
Could be, should be making me glad
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say
It's you I need and you'll be pleading in vain

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wondered around, finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen,
Might never be mean, might never be cross,
Or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, marvelous you
It had to be you
Ah, let's go!
Ok!
It had to be you, were some kind of faith
it had to be you - I just have to wait
We wander around and finally find
somebody, you
and nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
it had to be you
just me and you
no one but you
had to be you
had to be you
it had to be you

People

People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you WERE half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

People who need people in the world

people who need people who need people

People who need people in the world

People who need people

All those people

People who need people in the world

People who need people

People who need people

People who need people

People who need people in the world

Come Rain Or Come Shine

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me

Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't that be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money

I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

I Guess when you met me
It was just one of those days
But don't ever bet me

Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't that be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always

Come rain or shine
I'm with you, I'm with you rain or shine

Evergreen

Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love

Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm takin' a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
Seen all those movie stars
And their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies, under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't wanna waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and the Daily News
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and the Daily News
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside
We don't have any reasons
Cause left them all behind
I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York state of mind...

I'd Want It To Be You

Time has a way of changing everything. That goes for almost anything but us (u and Ally). Always have and I always will remain words from the heart that you can trust. When love has come and gone you can always know I'm here for you whenever you might need me. Sometimes if your lucky you find that certain someone you can always count on to be true. If I had the choice of only one friend in this world, you know that I'd want it to be you.

Your still sweet as a honey bee after all these years. You'll always be that funny girl to me. Season to season, we'll always have a reason, you mean, to be the best of friends that we can be. That's right. Someone you can turn to every minute of the day, warm memories to hold onto that will never fade away.

Sometimes if your lucky you find that certain someone you can always count on to be true. If I had the choice of only one friend in this world, you know that I'd want it to be you.

Your like a sweet familiar song, a good book when I'm alone, a cup of coffee when I'm cold, a country road that leads me home.

Sometimes if your lucky you find that certain someone you can always count on to be true. If I had the choice of only one friend in this world, you know that I'd want it to be you.

Until I make it home again, I thank God He gave me you. We'll stay the way we were, forever true. There's no one in this world that's been a better friend to me than you.

The Way We Were

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
So much memories
What's too painful to remember
Of the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
Much too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were so much baby
I miss the way we were

I Still Can See Your Face

At least one moment everyday
I hear the echo of your voice
And though it's only in my mind,it stays with me
I have no choice

I reached for you as if you're here
Your tender touch, your warm embrace
And though it's been so many years
I still can see your face

We're all just prisoners of time
The days go rushing by
With memories we've locked away
There may not been much I regret
But there were things we couldn't say
Maybe the ending came too soon
You are the one I can't replace
And though it's been so many years
I still can see you face

Somehow we knew another love will find us
We'd carry on ,leave yesterday behind us
Sometimes I find, the quiet nights
I close my eyes and realize
I've never loved too far

And if by chance we meet again
We meet again
A sudden crazy twist of fate
A street where we have never been
And with the hours getting late
You're running to my open arms
Like all the years have been erased
And every shadow of the past
I still can see your face
And every shadow of the past
I still can see your face

How Deep Is The Ocean

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How high is the sky?

What Kind Of Fool

There was a time when we were down and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now

There was a world when we were standing still
And for a moment we were separated
And then you found her
You let the stranger in
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now

What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow

Losing you now
Wonderin' why
Where will I be tomorrow

There was a time when we were down and out
There was a place when we were starting over
We let the bough break
We let the heartache in
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now

What , what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow

Oh! Losing you now
Wonder you are
Where will I be tomorrow

Was there a moment when I cut you down
Played around
What have I done
I only apologize
For being as they say, the last to know
It has to show
When someone is in your eyes

What, what kind of fool
Tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow

How can I win
Where will I be tomorrow

What, what, what,
don't leave me baby
wherever I go
wherever you be
what have I done
oh where will I be
so tell me why, why why
what kind of fool

Somewhere

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there

Someday, somewhere...
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere

Love Me Tender

Wasn't it just yesterday
when you held me near
Whispering the sweetest words
that I longed to head

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go

You have made my life complete
and I love you so

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled

For my darling I love you
and I always will

Love me tender
(Love me tender)
love me long
take me to your heart

For it's there that I belong,
and we'll never part

Love me tender,
love me true
all my dreams fulfilled

For my darling I love you
and I always will

Love me tender,
love me true
tell me you are mine

I'll be yours through all the years
till the end of time

Love me tender,
love me true
all my dreams fulfilled

For my darling I love you
(I love you)
and I always will
and I always will

Lost Inside Of You

Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You made them all come true

When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

Lost in the music
And lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time

Hearing songs you sing
Feeling love you bring to me
Darling being close to you
Made all, made all my dreams come true

When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You made them all come true

When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

I've Got A Crush On You

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
I wonder...Could you coo, now, could you care
For a cozy cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you
I've got a crush on you,
I've got a crush on you,
Sweetie pie
Sweetie pie
All the day and night-time
All the day and night-time
Hear me sigh
Hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with...
I'd fall with...
So much...
So much emotion
So much emotion
Could you coo?
I could coo!
Could you possibly care?
I could care!
For a lovely cottage...
Ooo that cottage
That we could share!
The world will pardon my mush
Yes, I have got a crush, my Barbra, on you!
You will make me blush, Francis!
Yes!
I have got a crush, my baby, on you...

I Finally Found Someone

I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete

We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time it's different,

Dah dah dah dah

It's all because of you,

Dah dah dah dah

It's better than it's ever been

'Cause we can talk it through

Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say

To take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

'Cause whatever I do,

It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Barbra:
Ooh, someone

I finally found someone,

Oooh . . .

Did I keep you waiting,

I didn't mind

I apologize,

Baby, that's fine

I would wait forever

Just to know you were mine
Bryan:
You know I love your hair,

Are you sure it looks right?

I love what you wear,

Isn't it the time?

You're exceptional,

I can't wait for the rest of my life . . .
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

'Cause whatever I do,

It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Barbra:
Whatever I do,

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun
I finally found someone

I Won't Be The One To Let Go

[Barbra:]
I have dreams for you and me
And wishes that will last
And live beyond eternity
[Barry:]
Summer's gone, winter's on
Can we weather everything
Our eyes have yet to see?
[Barbra:]
As the years go by
I promise you that I...
[Both:]
I will be the one to run to
When the nights are long
I'll be there when winds begin to blow
Even when it seems
That everything is going wrong
[Barbra:]
This I swear
[Barry:]
I swear
[Both:]
I won't be the one to let go
[Barry:]
Life gets tough
[Barbra:]
Ooh...
[Barry:]
Roads get rough
[Barbra:]
Ooooh...
[Barry:]
Who knows what awaits us round the bend
[Barbra:]
Count on me, faithfully
Though everything we have could never end
[Barry:]
It could never end
[Both:]
And through rain or shine
And every cloudy sky
[Both:]
I will be the one to run to
when the nights are long
I'll be there when winds begin to blow
Even when it seems
That everything is going wrong
[Barbra:]
This I swear
[Barry:]
This I swear
[Both:]
I won't be the one to let go
[Barry:]
I'll be there
[Barbra:]
I'll be there
[Barry:]
Anytime you need me
You'll know where I am
[Barbra:]
You'll know just where i am
And everywhere
[Barry:]
Everywhere
[Barbra:]
Anytime you're lost
Just turn around
[Barry:]
Just turn around
[Both:]
And take my hand and....
[Both:]
I will be your light in the night
And I promise
That even when it seems
That everything is going wrong
[Barbra:]
This I swear
[Barry:]
This I swear
[Both:]
I won't be the one
[Barbra:]
To let go....
[Barry:]
To let go....
This I swear
[Barbra:]
I swear
[Both:]
I won't be the one to let go
[Barbra:]
To let
[Both:]
Go...

Guilty

Shadows falling, baby, we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet
Got a heartache of their own

It ought to be illegal
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
It ought to be illegal
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're livin' on

You gotta be mine we take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
We are devotion

And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye

Pulse's racing, darling how grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark

It ought to be illegal
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
It ought to be illegal
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on

You gotta be mine we take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
We are devotion

And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
I don't wanna hear your

And we got nothing, and we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
We are devotion

And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Don't wanna hear your

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
