Lyrics
A one, and a two
Soon will do (sounds like singing in the rain)
There will be times
When you and I may come together
Somewhere in some crowded room
I know we will
And all my feelings show
Can this be love to me, some destiny
'Cause that's what gets you high
Could we unite, late at night?
It's all so lonely if only you were mine
Life has a way of changing all your plans without you understanding
What if I could choose the games that we could play
Baby it's not too late
Don't make me wait
I've seen it all
I'm searching for that sign if only you were mine
I want my life to be
Just you and me
To have your love
To be the first in line
If only you were mine
If only you were mine (now we're talking)
"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.
