Barbra Streisand - Willow Weep For Me Lyrics






Oh, willow weep for me
Weeping willow tree
Bend your branches green
Along the stream
That runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me

Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here
To weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me

Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breakin' and a makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing here and crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground
And cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me

Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer's dream

    Incredible! And it was cut from Simply Streisand - although it's much better than some songs on that album.

  2. n.... ....

    Amazing recording. The arrangement and musicianship are impeccable. Love this version.

  3. R.... C....

    Good , but this don't, come. Close to Sam Cooke,s version . Sam the man .

    R.... C....

    Comparing performances by two such distinct artists is an insult to both to them. You may prefer one over the other, but to say hers "doesn't come close" is ridiculous.

    R.... C....

    Chris N not true. There is not enough swing and play in her rhythms, they’re too measured and formal. She doesn’t understand the childlike nature of the melody, she doesn’t sing it from deep inside.

  4. G.... ....

    Diva♥

  5. T.... V....

    She is the best since 5 decades

  6. M.... ....

    The only other version I ever heard of this little known gem was by Cher back in the day. It's actually a great song!

    M.... ....

    Sinatra's 1958 version is profoundly sad

  7. A.... N....

    I just love recording sound mix of 1967..Ray Ellis did fine arrangement.

  8. M.... ....

    Pure hope and speculation. On the strength of this, there may be lots more unreleased [60's] Streisand tracks waiting to be re-discovered. Please record execs! You WILL sell them.

  9. F.... D....

    The recording was made in 1967, only a few months after she gave birth, and intended for the "Simply Streisand" album.  But it was shelved for whatever reasons.  Glad it has been released.  Classy perf.

  10. b.... ....

    Like butter.

  11. b.... ....

    Barbra at her best.

    Utterly gorgeous rendering!!!
