This Is One of Those Moments Songtext

von Barbra Streisand

There are moments you remember
All your life.
There are moments you wait for
And dream of all your life.
This is one of those moments.

I will always remember this chair,
That window,
The way the light streams in.
The clothes I'm wearing,
The wrods I'm hearing,
The face I'm seeing,
The feelings I'm feeling,
The smell, the sounds, will be written On my mind,
Will be written in my heart as long as
I live!

I can travel the past and take what
I need
To see me through the years.
What my father learned and his
Father bevor him
Will be there for my eyes and ears.
I can walk through the forests of the Trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves.
I can enter rooms where there are
Rooms within rooms,
Wrapped in a shawl that learning
Weaves.

I remember, Papa-
Ev'rything you thaught me!
What you gave me, Papa-
Look at what it's brouhgt me!

There are certain things that once
You have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
And now they're about to be mine!
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away.

I can open doors and take from
The shelves
All the books I've longed to hold.
I can ask all the questions,
The whys and the wheres
As the myst'ries of life unfold.
Like a link in a chain
From the past to the future,
That joins me with the children
Yet to be,
I can now be a part
Of the ongoing stream,
That has always been a part of me!

There are certain things that once
You have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away-
And now they're about to be mine!

There are moments you remember
All your life.
There are moments you wait for
And dream of all your life.
This is one of those moments!
