Songbird

About Songbird

"Songbird" is the title track and first single released from Barbra Streisand's 1978 album Songbird. It was written by Dave Wolfert and Steve Nelson and produced by Gary Klein. On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song peaked at number 25. It spent two weeks atop the Billboard easy listening chart in July and August 1978, her fifth song to accomplish this feat. One theory as to why "Songbird" was less successful on the U. S. pop chart is that Streisand recorded the theme to the 1978 film Eyes of Laura Mars, which was released as a single a few weeks after "Songbird" came out. "Prisoner (Love Theme from Eyes of Laura Mars)" reached number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and may have created competition with herself for pop radio airplay and single sales. more »

Songbird sings from the heart
Each word can tear you apart
I sing you sing along
You find your life in my song
When you need the strength to carry on 

You've got me to turn to 
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
They've helped you be strong now 

The song sets you free
But who sings for me
I'm all alone now
Who sings for songbird

Sometimes when I'm all alone
I sing my saddest song
Lonely and no one can see
This time the song is for me
I can touch your secret place inside

And still you don't know me
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
You've learned to be strong now

My song sets you free
But who sings for me
I'm all alone now
Where is my songbird
Where is my songbird
Who sings his songs for me
