Woman in Love
036. Barbra Streisand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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 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 it feels?
What a woman can do
It's a right
I defend over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within




It's a right I defend
Over and over again

Overall Meaning

"Woman in Love" is a soaring, emotional ballad about a woman's devotion to the man she loves. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses how being in love defines her existence, how she is willing to do anything to make him a part of her life and hold on to him. The opening lines set the somber tone of a love that is now gone, leaving an empty space. The lyrics go on to say that although the couple plans to be together eternally, they also recognize that no one knows what the future holds. The woman acknowledges that the road can be demanding and not always easy to navigate, but every time she falls, she gives him everything she has.


The song's chorus is powerful and memorable, as it reinforces the singer's central message that she will do anything for the man she loves. It's a declaration of how powerful love can be, "I am a woman in love, and I do anything to get you into my world and hold you within. It's a right I defend over and over again." The song's lyrics convey pure, powerful emotions and the lengths that someone will go to for love, even in the face of obstacles and adversity.

Celine Dion is a fabulous singer (she was 29 years old when this song was first recorded in 1997), but Barbra is immortal. The richness in Barbra's voice is unmatched by any female singer in the last 100 years at least. And she was already past her prime here at 55; nearly TWICE Celine's age. Simply astounding.
