Yentl Medley(Where Is It Written?) (Live)

Yentl Medley(Where Is It Written?) (Live) - Barbra Streisand (芭芭拉·史翠珊)

Oh tell me where-

Where is it written

What it is I'm meant to be

That I can't dare

To have the chance to

Pick the fruit of ev'ry tree

Or have my share

Of ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility

(speaking)those are questions

That women have been asking

For centuries and incredibly

Enough I think they're still

Asking them today I think

That's what attracted me to yentl

And why I had

I had to make the film yentl

As some of you know

Is the story of a girl in

Eastern europe at the turn

Of the century when the

World of study belonged

Only to men but yentl's

Father recogn

Her thirst for knowledge

Taught her secretly

And after his death

In order to continue her studies

She had had no choice

But go out into

The world disguised as a man

Papa can you hear me

Papa can you see me

Papa can you

Find me in the night

Papa are you near me

Papa can you help

Me not be frightened

Looking at the skies

I seem to see a million eyes

Which ones are yours

Where are you now that yesterday

Has waved goodbye

And closed it's door

The night is so much darker

The wind is so much colder

The world I see is so much bigger

Now that I'm alone

Papa please forgive me

Try to understand me

Papa don't you know

I had no choice

Can you hear me praying

Anything I'm saying

Even though the night is

Filled with voices

I remember

Ev'rything you taught me

Ev'ry book I've ever read

Can all the words

N all the books

Help me to face

What lies ahead

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright

Papa how I love you

Papa how I need you

Papa how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight

(speaking)

To go on with the story

Em yentl then meets a boy

Whom she falls in love with;

But it turns out he's already

In love with another girl

But because of circumstances

I can't go into now they'r

Vented from getting married

And to make a long story short

He asks yentl who of course

He thinks is a boy to marry the girl

So he can still see her - not yentl

The other girl so the gir

The girl get married

And if you want to see

How yentl got away with

The wedding night

You'll have to rent the video

It's just a variation

On the boy-meets-girl-meets-girl-story

It's very ni

S anyway mmm

One night he comes over

To the house to study

But it's clear that the only thing

He really wants to study

Is her not yentl her wife

Her get it his eyes never leave her f

Will someone ever

Look at me that way

See the way they gaze at her

Like slaves they follow

Ev'ywhere she goes

Do my eyes forget themselves

And do I ever look at him

And smile in such a way

That what I'm feeling shows

Sometimes I have

The feeling ev'rybody knows

And even though it's crazy

Still I can't help wond'ring

If I'll ever live to see that day

When by some miracle of miracles

He'll turn around and look at me

That way

A piece of sky

Oh tell me where

Where is the someone

Who will turn and look at me

And want to share

My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility

The more

I live - the more I learn

The mor

E I learn - the more I realize

The less I know

Each step I take -

Papa I've a voice now

Each page I turn -

Papa I've a choice now

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

Papa I can hear you

Papa I can see you

Papa I can feel you

Papa watch me fly

Papa watch me fly

(speaking)thank you

I'm glad you liked that

Thank you thank you

Thank you oh that's great

Thank you
