Woman in Love

Artist: Barbra Streisand

Album: The Essential: Barbra Streisand

Song Length: 3:53

George's Thoughts: This beautiful and popular love song by Barbra Streisand appears on a number of strict tempo albums, but nothing quite comes close to her original version in terms of its beauty or vocal quality. No true Latin flavoring, but her version is so incredibly sung that you don't care. Nicely defined beat for Ruma as well.

Song Lyrics:

Life is a moment in space,
when the dream is gone it's a lonelier place.
I kiss the morning goodbye,
down inside, you know we never know why.
The road is narrow and long,
when eyes meet eyes and the feeling is strong.
I turn away from the wall.
I stumble and fall, but I give you it all.

I am a woman in love,
and I'd do anything to get you into my world
and hold you within. It's a right.
I defend, over and over again. What do I do?

With you eternally mine,
in love there is no measure of time.
We planned it all at the start.
You and I live in each other's heart.
We may be oceans away.
You'll feel my love. I hear what you say.
No truth is ever a lie.
I stumble and fall, but I give you it all.

I am a woman in love,
and I'd do anything to get you into my world
and hold you within. It's a right.
I defend, over and over again. What do I do?

I am a woman in love and I'm talking to you.
You know I know how you feel what a woman can do.
It's a right. I defend over and over again. What do I do?
