Sung by grande Barbra Streisand in "Yentl" - a beautiful movie about a very brave girl who dared follow her dreams.
I love playing it again every now and then.
Were the Bergmans looking at my life while writing the lyrics?!
[...] It all began the day I found That from my window
I could only see A piece of sky. [...]
[...] Though it's safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where I go-
There'll be mem'ries that tug at my sleeve [...]
[...] Each mile I travel only means The more I have to go.
What's wrong with wanting more? If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for Just a piece of sky?
I could only see A piece of sky. [...]
[...] Though it's safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where I go-
There'll be mem'ries that tug at my sleeve [...]
[...] Each mile I travel only means The more I have to go.
What's wrong with wanting more? If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for Just a piece of sky?
Thank you, Barbra! Thank you, Michel Legrand! Thank you, Alan and Marylin Bergman!
To see Barbra's performance of "Papa, can you hear me?" in "Yentl", go
Enjoy!
