Barbra Streisand - I Had Myself A True Love Lyrics






I had myself a true love
A true love who was something to see
I had myself a true love
At least that's what I kept on telling me
The first thing in the morning
I still try to think of a way to be with him
Some part of the evening
And that's the way I live through the day

I had myself a true love, but now he's gone
And left me for good
The Lord knows I've done heard those back yard
Whispers going 'round the neighborhood
There maybe a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this, now I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love
In the evening, in the doorway
While I stand there and wait for his coming
With the house swept and the clothes hung,
In a pot on the stove there's a hot meal
Where is he while I waste the rising newel?
Where is he? Why'd he gone so soon?
Now there ain't no way that it used to be, what now?
And everybody keeps telling me
There are may be a lot of things I miss
A lot of things I don't know
But I do know this now...
I ain't got no love
And once upon a time I had a true love.

Barbra Streisand I Had Myself A True Love Comments
  1. C.... N....

    This is nothing short of operatic in emotion and vocal performance. Little wonder she stood out like a sore thumb--or a shining beacon--from all the other young female singers at the time.

    I had myself a true love
    A true love who was something to see
    I had myself a true love
    At least that's what I kept on telling me
    The first thing in the morning
    I still try to think of a way to be with him
    Some part of the evening
    And that's the way I live through the day
    I had myself a true love, but now he's gone
    And left me for good
    The lord knows I don't hear those back yard
    Whispers going round the neighborhood
    There maybe a lot of things I miss
    A lot of things I don't know
    But I do know this, now I ain't got no love
    And once upon a time I had a true love

    While I stand there and wait for his coming
    With the house swept and the clothes hung
    And a pot on the stove where I had meal
    Where is he while I waste the rising newel?

    A lot of things I don't know
    But I do know this now...
    I ain't got no love
    And once upon a time I had a true love.

    These Streisand songs sounded great in the 1960s -- and now, over 50 years later, they sound impossibly grand. Sadly, culture does not always advance. Hence the need for massive promotion to sell today's inferior products. This music set the bar very high.

    stunning...and didn't we all have one at one time.
