Streisand, Barbra - A Piece Of Sky Lyrics






[Yentl reveals herself to Avigdor.
Though she is a woman ahead of her time, Avigdor is a prisoner of his.
So her journey must continue... to a place where she hears things are different.]


Tell me where
Where is it written
What is it I meant to be?
That I can't dare...
It all began the day I found..
That from my window I could only see
A piece of sky.
I stepped outside and looked around.
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high.
The time had come
(Papa, can you hear me?)
To try my wings
(Papa, are you near me?)
And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall,
I felt the most,
(Papa, can you see me?)
Amazing things,
(Can you understand me?)
The things you can't imagine
if you've never flown at all.
Though it's safer to stay on the ground,
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found.
No matter where I go,
There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve,
But there will also be
More to question, yet more to believe..
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 more 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!

    The greatest singer ever.
    I am humbled to hear her voice. Her range seems never ending and she has a set of pipes matched by no one.
    That last note - where did she get the air to belt that out.
    Thank you for sharing this.

    That whole last stanza gets me:


    "What's wrong with wanting more?
    If you can fly, then soar!
    With all there is, why settle for
    Just a piece of sky?"


    Of all the brilliant lyrics the Bergmans have written, these are the words that have had the most impact on me.

  16. J.... H....

    This song floors me, leaves me breathless with the final...one of the longest notes I’ve ever heard sung

    I read yrs ago that someone told Barbara that she should have a nose job done.To the moron who said that.I ,and many other people love her just the way she is.I love her voice,and she has a beautiful face.I still remember the first time I heard her on the radio.It was her song Evergreen.To me she is one of the greatest female performers in the world.I still cry when I hear her sing Piece of sky.Her movie Yentl was a brilliant movie.Mrs.Srisand I love u ,and your music.

    Eternity of the Future - lives in only One Piece of Sky - a Sky of Love.. Barbra is telling powerfully and tenderly honest ...this God's wisdom.. Barbra is a Lady with the most fragrant Heart that is settling in the " piece of Sky" of Love..

  24. c.... ....

    unparalleled Streisand what a wonder

  25. L.... d....

    Musique de mon compatriote Michel Legrand. Un des rares Français à avoir connu le succès à Hollywood.

  26. C.... A....

    Film rivisto non so più quante volte...Il Concerto al Madison Square Garden è ....Beautiful!!!

  27. D.... L....

    Barbra Streisand sin duda tu película yently es muy hermosa es una película de colección es y demuestra que la mujer judía puede superarse el final de la película en el barco y cuando dices “papá watch me fly” es una oración que me hace sentir que en fondo todos somos seres humanos y queremos todos lograr nuestras metas ese final cada vez que lo veo me hence llorar de alegría x que yo también soy inmigrante vivo en Israel y se lo que es la búsqueda y el triunfo de vivir en Libertad soy de venezuela y mi país vive bajo la dictadura de un hombre que quiere perpetuarse en el poder y muchos como yo y mi familia han inmigrado a otros países cuando veo esta película siempre recuerdo lo magnífica que eres como actriz y cantante de veras te felicito por tu excelente película

  28. J.... S....

  34. T.... P....

    The people of today dont know what real music is. How can this masterpiece and some of her other songs not having millions of views but the disgusting songs and people get all the credit? Goes to show that something is really up with the corrupt industry. These people are the icons

  35. M.... L....

    God must be so proud of her😀

  48. P.... G....

    No wonder why Regine Velasquez loves Barbra Streisand. Please watch A piece of sky version of Regine Velasquez. ❤️

  49. M.... F....

    When she hits that final high note, notice her gaze, and the smile, and subtle shaking of her head...fantastic.

  50. M.... S....

    Voice of an angel

  51. L.... P....

  55. S.... M....

    Along with all the great talents mentioned in previous posts, the man responsible for the score to Yentl, Michel Legrand, would be awarded the Academy Award in 1984. Sadly, he passed away this past week at 86 years old. A wonderful musical score.

  56. C.... A....

    That end always gets me...I just cry each time.

  57. I.... M....

    That end long note.. Wow, 15 seconds and that's pretty damn long

  77. D.... S....

    I was floored when people all over the place were saying that Aretha Franklin was a better vocalist than Streisand.
