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

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
