A Man I Loved

Barbra Streisand · Songbird [1978]

I'll tell you a story 'bout a man that I loved

He lives in the sky in the clouds above

He knows every river, every mountain and stream

He's a gentleman, I tell you that lives in my dream



If you don' t believe what I say is true

Maybe someday he will happen to you

It's like he's always watching over me

I do believe in magic when it's plain to see

If you don't believe what I say is true

Maybe, baby, someday he will happen to you



Softly he whispers into my ear

The dream is over but I don't wanna hear

No, no, no, no

Softly he whispers into my ear

The dream is over but I don't wanna hear



So take me, I'm lonely, take me in your dreams

Please don't leave me waiting here as long as it seems

If you don't believe what I say is true

Maybe, baby, someday he will happen to you



Softly he whispers into my ear

The dream is over but I don't wanna hear

Softly he whispers into my ear

The dream is over but I don't wanna hear



I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear

I don't wanna, I don't wanna hear
