Answer Me
Barbra Streisand · Superman [1977]
Do you wake up very slowly?
Does it take a while before you smile
Are your dreams like premonitions
Have you lived them through
Some people do
I hope you'll answer me with patient eyes
No hurried words, foolish or wise, answer me
Answer me with soft silent touches
They'll tell me as much as I need to know
Answer me with deep and restful sleeping
And if you dream in sleep, they're yours to keep
No, you need not answer me if we must part
Should someone ask who's touched your heart
Perhaps you'll answer me
Does it take a while before you smile
