Lyrics

Here in the shell of a house
This house that is struggling to be
A beacon of light shinning all through the night
So bright that the whole world could see
But now there's a chill in the room
Windows are starting to leak
Floorboards are starting to creak
And hope, hope may arrive
The house will survive
If only these walls could speak
Take care of this house
Keep it from harm
If bandits break in sound the alarm
Care for this house
Shine it by hand
And keep it so clean
The glow can be seen all over the land
Be careful at night, check all the doors
If someone makes off with our dream
The dream will be yours
Take care of this house
Be always on call
For this house is the hope of us all
Beware of full smiles tat lead you astray
When someone is telling you lies
Let truth lead the way
Take of this house
Be always on call
Care for this house
It's the hope of us all

"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.
