Sweet Forgiveness

Barbra Streisand

6

4 a.m.

Another sleepless night

Each weary word I writeA tear on the page

Here I am

Asking myself again

Why does this love we′re in

Stay just out of reach?

Tell me why

We never get the balance just exactly right

We scream across the distance from our separate sides

And wonder when did passion turn to pride?

You and I

Two lives, one heart

Believing every day

Will be the day when sweet forgiveness starts

I need you

To let me stand alone

To call my life my own

Yet stand by my side

I know I

Don't let you know enough

Don′t let love show enough

Don't let you be strong

Oh, tell me why

We never get surrender just exactly right

We never can remember there's another side

That lies between the passion and the pride

You and I

Two lives, one heart

One leap of faith away

We stay until the sweet forgiveness starts

Walls, we built these very walls

Where my shadow falls alone

And doors between my life and yours

Opened then before, everything is gone

Sweet forgiveness touch me before dawn

You and I

Two lives, one heart

We keep the dream alive

Surviving ′til the sweet forgiveness starts
