Lyrics

I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that's what I kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that's the way I live through the day
I had myself a true love, but now he's gone
And left me for good
The Lord knows I done hear those back yard
Whispers going round the neighborhood
There may be a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this
Now I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love
In the evening, in the doorway
While I stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung
And a pot on the stove there a humming
Where is he while I watch the rising moon?
Where is he, why'd he gone so soon?
Now that ain't the way that it used to be, what now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There may be a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this now
I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love

"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.
