No Matter What Happens Lyrics

Barbra Streisand No Matter What Happens

Look at how she looks at me,
  I can never look at her that way...
  Full of all the feelings and the soft
  Unspoken words that lovers say...
  In all the words, in all the books
  I wish there were a way to say that
  What she's taught me
  Isn't written anywhere
  And I'm supposed to be the one
  Who's wise...
  One thing is certain,
  I can never be what she
  Expects of me...
I've wanted the shadows,
I don't anymore.
No matter what happens,
I won't anymore
I've run from the sunlight-
Afraid it saw too much.
The moon had the one light
I bathed in-
I walked in.
I held in my feelings
And closed every door.
No matter what happens.
I can't anymore.
There's someone who must hear
The words I've never spoken.
Tonight if he were here
My silence would be broken.
I need him to touch me-
To know the love that's in my heart-
The same heart that tells me
To see myself-
To free myself-
To be myself at last!
For too many mornings
The curtains were drawn.
It's time they were opened
To welcome the dawn.
A voice deep inside
Is getting stronger,
I can't keep it quiet any longer.
No matter what happens,
It can't be the same anymore...
I promise it won't be the same
Anymore!
