About My Heart Belongs to Me

"My Heart Belongs to Me" is a popular song from 1977 (see 1977 in music). It was originally performed by the songwriter, Alan Gordon, but the more famous version of the song was recorded by American singer and actress Barbra Streisand. Released as a single from her multi-platinum 1977 album, Superman, "My Heart Belongs to Me" peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the middle of that year. It spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard easy listening chart, Streisand's fourth number-one song on this survey. Her only song which spent longer on top of that chart was "Woman in Love," number one for five weeks. The song was originally considered for Streisand's film version of A Star Is Born from the previous year, but it was not included on that project. Charlie Calello, the co-producer of "My Heart Belongs to Me", rehearsed the song with Streisand by playing piano while she sang the lyrics. The instrumental portion of the song was recorded first, then Streisand recorded her vocals along with the orchestration the next day.

I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart has gone to sleep
One of these mornin's I'll be gone
My heart belongs to me
Can we believe in fairy tales? 
Can love survive when all else fails? 
Can't hide the feelin', the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me

But now my love, hey didn't I love you? 
But we knew what had to be
Somehow my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me

Put out the light and close your eyes 
Come lie beside me, don't ask why
Can't hide the feeling, the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me

(But know my love, hey didn't I love you? 
Didn't I love you? Didn't I love you? Didn't I love you, baby?)
Don't cry my love, I'll always love you
But my heart belongs to me 
My heart belongs to me 
I got the feelin' the feelin's gone
My heart belongs to me
