• Life is a moment in space
  When the dream is gone
  It's a lonelier place
  I kiss the morning goodbye
  But down inside you know
  We never know why
  The road is narrow and long
  When eyes meet eyes
  And the feeling is strong
  I turn away from the wall
  I stumble and fall
  But I give you it all
  
  I am a woman in love
  And I'd do anything
  To get you into my world
  And hold you within
  It's a right I defend
  Over and over again
  What do I do?
  
  With you eternally mine
  In love there is
  No measure of time
  We planned it all at the start
  That you and I
  Live in each other's hearts
  We may be oceans away
  You feel my love
  I hear what you say
  No truth is ever a lie
  I stumble and fall
  But I give you it all
  
  I am a woman in love
  And I'd do anything
  To get you into my world
  And hold you within
  It's a right I defend
  Over and over again
  What do I do?
  
  I am a woman in love
  And I'm talking to you
  You know I know how you feels
  What a woman can do
  It's a right
  I defend over and over again
  
  I am a woman in love
  And I'd do anything
  To get you into my world
  And hold you within
  It's a right I defend

• Harry from Sunnyvale, CaThis is one of my favorite songs by anyone, and I like many Streisand songs. This song is the reason why she was and still is so popular. But this particular one is so deeply heartfelt and I think the most emotional of any she's sung. It maybe was written by Andy Gibb, but it's Streisand's wonderfully mature and feminine vocalization that makes it gret
• Paul from Detroit, MiJohn, get a grip. Are you some sort of freaked out, male feminist? This was a beautiful song, and so WHAT, if she was a "Woman In Love". Should a woman be ashamed of that?
• Jennie from California, CaA great song. I love it.
