Memories...

Barbra at her best. A humble tribute to an awesome woman, her career and her talent - although neither of the three are gone, thank God.
The song is called "Memory" from the Broadway musical "Cats", not to be confused with the one from the movie "The Way We Were", which starts with the word "Memories".
The vid is called "Memories" because the pics bring many memories back, and because I decided I like it that way, and a work of art should be called what the author decides, even if others prefer to call it something else.

Lyrics

Midnight...
Not a sound from the pavement,
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone!
In the lamplight,
The withered leaves collect at my feet...
And the wind begins to moan.
Memory...
All alone in the moonlight,
I can dream of the old days...
Life was beautiful then!
I remember the time I knew what happiness was...
Let the memory live again!
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning...!
Someone mutters, and the street lamp sputters,
And soon it will be morning!
Daylight...
I must wait for the sunrise!
I must think of a new life!
And I musn't give in!
When the dawn comes,
Tonight will be a memory too...!
And a new day will begin.

Burnt out ends of smoky days,
The still cold smell of the morning...
A street lamp dies, another night is over,
Another day is dawning!
Touch me!
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun!
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is!
Look, a new day... has begun...!

The song is named "Memory", not "Memories".

[chuckgary]

@azertyqsdf9 This vid is called "Memories..." not "Memory".

[acuapisc]

Preciosa canción de la Gran Barbra Streisand, en España la titularon "Tal como eramos" al igual que la pelicula de la que forma parte, gracias por compartirla, besos desde Asturias, España

[chuckgary]

Creo que confundes con una otra pelicula: "The Way We Were" que Barbra hizo con Robert Redford, allá por los años 70, y cuya foto aparece en este video. (Y que empieza con la palabra "Memories..." - posiblemente el origen la confusión). Esta música es del musical de Broadway "Cats" y creo que si hay pelicula, Barbra no participó.

Gracias de todo modo por disfrutar y por el comentário favorable - Barbra es para mi, divina.

@chuckgary You may excuse me.

But the correct title of this song is Memory.

So it would be better, title of this vid is memory to.

Her career as singer is not over, yet.

barbara streisand es leyenda viva y esta cancion es absolutamente memorable ,su interpretacion inigualable , extraordinaria ,una de las mejores voces del mundo sin discusion

Bab it is your song. It shall live long after you and I are both dead and a lot of others too. I have listened to this song for more than 120 time just to find a fault. You have made it unsurpassable. All of the others are good, very good, especially Paige in Cats, but Bab, nothing shall ever beat this one. I think, if you sing it again, you might not be able to. It happens once in a while. Memries shall remain memries. Long live Memories. Lloyed Weber's best.

Excelente cantante y actriz..creo que es una de las mas autenticas.. jamas atento contra su rostro a pesar de manifestar que su nariz no era justamente lo que mas le gustaba de ella.....eso es quererse y respetarse..y vaya que trasmite esta hermosa mujer....
