Barbra Streisand - No Matter What Happens Lyrics

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
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, I held in my feelings
And closed every 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
