No Matter What Happens - Barbra Streisand Michel Legrand

Look at how she look at me

I can never look at her that way

Full of all the feelings and the soft

Unspoken words that lovers say

In all the words and all the books

I wish there were a way to say that

What she's taught me

Isn't written anywhere

And I'm supposed to be the one

Who's wise

One thing is certain

I can never be what she

Expects of me

I've wanted the shadows

I don't anymore

No matter what happens

I won't anymore

I've run from the sunlight

Afraid it saw too much

The moon had the one light

I bathed in

I walked in

And I held in my feelings

And close ev'ry door

No matter what happens

I can't anymore

There's someone who must hear

The words I've never spoken

Tonight if he were here

My silence would be broken

I need him to touch me

To know the love that's in my heart

The same heart that tells me

To see myself

To free myself

To be myself at last

For too many mornings

The curtains were drawn

It's time they were opened

To welcome the dawn

A voice deep inside

Is getting stronger

I can't keep it quiet any longer

No matter what happens

It can't be the same anymore

I promise it won't be the same

Anymore
