花況愈好






作詞:艾略特 作曲:Andrew Lloyd Webber
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream at the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustnt give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory, too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, its so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me
Youll understand what happiness is
Look! A new day has begun

史翠珊名字本來英文拼法是Barbara,她18歲時改成Barbra,沿用至今。她表示雖然她討厭這個名字,卻也不想作太大改變,而且只有兩個a的芭芭拉已經夠獨特。一篇1967年的訪問說她當時被建議改掉猶太裔的姓(Streisand),而她則是選擇把名字裡拿掉一個a。
一共出品了61張唱片,許多都是她電影的原聲帶。其中著名的歌曲有"People","The Way We Were","Evergreen","(No More Tears) Enough Is Enough" 和"Woman In Love"。她是美國唱片銷量最高的女歌星,僅次於貓王和披頭四。
