Barbra
 Shadows falling , baby , we stand alone
 Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
 (it oughta be illegal)
 Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
 (it oughta be illegal)
 You got a reason for livin'
 You battle on with the love you're livin' on
 You gotta be mine
 We take it away
 It's gotta be night and day
 Just a matter of time
 And we got nothing to be guilty of
 Our love will climb any mountain near or far , we are
 And we never let  it end
 We are devotion
 And we got nothing to be sorry for
 Our love is one in a million
 Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
 I don't wanna hear your goodbye
 Oh!
 
 Barry
 Aaah!
 Pulse's racing , darling
 How grand we are
 Little by little we meet in the middle
 There's danger in the dark
 (it oughta be illegal)
 Make it a crime to be out in the cold
 (it oughta be illegal)
 You got a reason for livin'
 You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
 Together
 You gotta be mine
 We take it away
 It's gotta be night and day
 Just a matter of time
 And we got nothing to be guilty of
 Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
 And we never let it end
 We are devotion
 And we got nothing to be sorry for
 Our love is one in a million
 Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
 
 Barbra
 I don't wanna hear your goodbye
 
 Barry
 Don't wanna hear your goodbye
 
 Both
 I don't wanna hear your
 And we got nothing to be guilty of
 Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
 And we never let it end
 We are devotion
 And we got nothing to be sorry for
 Our love is one in a million
 Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
 Don't wanna hear your goodbye
 Don't wanna hear your
 And we got nothing to be guilty of...
