The Way He Makes Me Feel

About The Way He Makes Me Feel

"The Way He Makes Me Feel" is the title of a popular song from 1983 performed by Barbra Streisand. The song is featured in the film adaptation of the play Yentl, in which Streisand starred and sang most of the music. The lyrics were written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, with music by Michel Legrand. Along with another song from Yentl ("Papa, Can You Hear Me?"), "The Way He Makes Me Feel" was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Original Song. Both tunes lost the Oscar to "Flashdance. .. What a Feeling". "The Way He Makes Me Feel" was released as a single in a slightly different and more contemporary version than the one on the soundtrack to the film. It reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent two weeks at number one on the adult contemporary chart. This was Streisand's eighth (and, to date, final) number-one song on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. more »

There's no chill, and, yet I shiver.
There's no flame, and, yet I burn.
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of,
And, yet I'm trembling.

There's no storm, yet I hear thunder,
And I'm breathless; why, I wonder?
Weak one moment,
Then the next I'm fine.

I feel as if I'm falling, ev'ry time
I close my eyes.
And flowing through my body
Is a river of surprise.
Feelings are awakening,
I hardly recognize
As mine!

What are all these new sensations?
What's the secret they reveal?
I'm not sure I understand,
But I like the way I feel.

Oh, why is it that ev'ry time
I close my eyes he's there?
The water shining on his skin;
The sunlight in his hair.
And all the while I'm thinking things
That I can never share
With him.

I'm a bundle of confusion.
Yes, it has a strange appeal.
Did it all begin with him
And the way he makes me feel?
I like the way he makes me feel.
