Just one life time

Barbra Streisand - 《精选集》

Greenwaves

I remember a meadow one morning in May

With a sky full of dreams

that sailed in that day

I was dancing through green waves of grass like the sea

For a moment in time I could feel I was free

There are waves of forgiveness and waves of regret

And the first waves of true love

I’ll never forget

In the meadow that morning as I wandered alone

There were green waves of yearning for life still unknown

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart

Where the waves reach as far as you can see

Take me home to the meadow - we’ve been too long apart

I can still hear you calling for me

Each one of us has a 'meadow that cradles the heart'

Each one of us has a 'meadow that cradles the heart'

Sometimes that meadow carries with it the voice of ancient echoes

and half-remembered tunes… and dances old as years

American songwriter and singer Ann Hampton Callaway wrote the lyrics to Greenwaves

The natural vocal beauty of Scottish singer Karen Matheson can instantly capture the heart

as it did when she performed the lament in the film "Rob Roy" causing actor Sean Connery to declare;

" Her voice is touched by God"

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart

Where the waves reach as far as you can see

Take me home to the meadow - we’ve been too long apart

I can still hear you calling for me

What I’d give to remember that heavenly state

Just a moment in time - all mine to create

As I’m taking my last breath I know what I’ll see

There’ll be green waves forever out there waiting for me

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart

Where the waves reach as far as you can see

Take me home to the meadow - we’ve been too long apart

I can still hear you calling for me
