You're a Step In the Right Direction Lyrics


You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for meWe blow hot and cold right into a heartache
I come toward you and you back away
Well, it's hard to be open, but do it for our sake
Don't let the world get in out wayYou are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for meOur lives are filled with such indecision
Going and comin' in our different ways
Don't run away don't avoid the collision
Let the sparks fill up our days
It's a step in the right directionYou are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for meNow listen baby, I'm sure glad you came along
But don't push your luck honey

'Cause our love is not that strongMay not be love and it may not be perfect
It may not make our dreams come true
But what good are dreams
Can't put your arms around them
Let me put my arms around youYou are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me
You are a step in the right direction
You are a step forward for me'Cause I am a step in the right direction
I am a step forward for you
I am a step in the right direction
Come on and take a step or two
'Cause you are a step in the right direction

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Barbra Streisand (born Barbara Joan Streisand; April 24, 1942 Brooklyn, New York), is an Academy Award-winning American singer, theater and film actress, composer, film producer, and director. She has won Oscars for Best Actress and Best Original Song as well as multiple Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards and an honorary Tony Award. She received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor on December 7, 2008. She is the most successful female recording artist according to the Recording Industry Assoc. of America (RIAA).

Barbra Streisand has recorded more than 60 albums, almost all with Columbia Records. Her early works in the 1960s (her debut The Barbra Streisand Album which won two Grammy Awards in 1963, followed by The Second Barbra Streisand Album, The Third Album, My Name Is Barbra, etc.) are considered classic renditions of theater and nightclub standards, including her version of Happy Days Are Here Again. Beginning with My Name Is Barbra, her albums were often medley-filled keepsakes of her television specials.

Starting in 1969, Streisand tackled contemporary songwriters; like many talented singers of the day, she found herself a fish out of water in attempts to tackle rock, but her vocal talents prevailed and she gained newfound success with the pop and ballad-oriented Richard Perry-produced album Stoney End in 1971. The title track, written by Laura Nyro, was a big hit for Streisand.

Streisand's 1980 album, Guilty featured the songwriting, production and vocal talents of Barry Gibb and was the best-selling album of her recording career. During the 1970s, she was also highly prominent in the pop charts, with number-one records like The Way We Were, Evergreen, No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) (her duet with Donna Summer), and Woman In Love; some of these came from soundtracks of her films. She recently took part in supporting Haiti in singing "We are the World 25th anniversary.

When the 1970s ended, Streisand was named the most successful female singer in the U.S. - only Elvis Presley and The Beatles having sold more albums. [1]

[1] In 1982, New York Times music critic Stephen Holden wrote that Streisand was "the most influential mainstream American pop singer since Frank Sinatra."
