Lyrics

I've dreamed of you
Always feeling you were there
And all my life
I have searched for you everywhere
I caught your smile in the morning sun
I heard your whisper on the breeze at night
I prayed one day that your arms
Would hold me tight
And just when I thought love had passed me by
We met
That first look in your eyes
I can't forget
You melted me with your tender touch
I felt all fear and sorrow slip away
Now here we stand, hand in hand
This blessed day
I promise you as I give to you
My heart
That nothing, nothing in this world
Shall keep us apart
Come happily ever after be
The man I love until the very end
I've dreamed of you, my great love
And my best friend
For God must know how I love you so
He's blessed us here today as man and wife
Come dream with me as I've dreamed of you
All my life
Come dream with me
As I have dreamed of you
All my life

"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.
