Yentl Medley Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

Oh tell me where- 

Where is it written what it is I'm meant to be 

That I can't dare 

To have the chance to pick the fruit of ev'ry tree 

Or have my share 

Of ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility? 

[speaking]those are questions that women have been asking for centuries, and incredibly enough, I think they're still asking them today! I think that's what attracted me to yentl, and why I had 

I had to make the film...yentl, as some of you know, is the story of a girl in eastern europe at the turn of the century, when the world of study belonged only to men. but yentl's father, recogn 

Her thirst for knowledge, taught her secretly. and after his death, in order to continue her studies, she had had no choice, but go out into the world disguised as a man...

Papa, can you hear me? 

Papa, can you hear me? 

Papa, can you see me? 

Papa, can you find me in the night? 

Papa, are you near me? 

Papa, can you hear me? 

Papa, can you help me not be frightened? 

Looking at the skies, I seem to see a million eyes 

Which ones are yours? 

Where are you now that yesterday 

Has waved goodbye and closed it's door? 

The night is so much darker, 

The wind is so much colder 

The world I see is so much bigger 

Now that I'm alone 

Papa, please forgive me 

Try to understand me 

Papa, don't you know I had no choice? 

Can you hear me praying, 

Anything I'm saying, 

Even though the night is filled with voices? 

I remember ev'rything you taught me 

Ev'ry book I've ever read 

Can all the words in all the books 

Help me to face what lies ahead? 

The trees are so much taller 

And I feel so much smaller 

The moon is twice as lonely 

And the stars are half as bright 

Papa, how I love you 

Papa, how I need you 

Papa, how I miss you 

Kissing me goodnight...

To go on with the story, em, yentl then meets a boy whom she falls in love with; but it turns out he's already in love with another girl, but because of circumstances I can't go into now, they'r 

Vented from getting married. and to make a long story short, he asks yentl, who, of course, he thinks is a boy to marry the girl, so he can still see her - not yentl, the other girl! so, the gir 

The girl get married, and if you want to see how yentl got away with the wedding night, you'll have to rent the video! it's just a variation on the boy-meets-girl-meets-girl-story, it's very ni 

S! anyway, mmm, one night he comes over to the house to study. but it's clear that the only thing he really wants to study is her...not yentl...her wife, her...get it? his eyes never leave her f 

. 

Will someone ever look at me that way? 

See the way they gaze at her, 

Like slaves they follow ev'ywhere she goes. 

Do my eyes forget themselves 

And do I ever look at him 

And smile in such a way 

That what I'm feeling shows? 

Sometimes I have the feeling ev'rybody knows 

And even though it's crazy, 

Still I can't help wond'ring if I'll ever live to see that day 

When by some miracle of miracles, 

He'll turn around and look at me 

That way... 

A piece of sky 

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! 

Papa, watch me fly!
