Guilty
Barbra Streisand with Barry Gibb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out on the street anybody you meet
Got a heartache of their own
It ought to be illegal
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
It ought to be illegal
You got a reason for livin'
You gotta be mine we take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Pulse's racing, darling how grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
It ought to be illegal
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
It ought to be illegal
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
You gotta be mine we take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
I don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing, and we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far
We are and we never let it end
In "Guilty," Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb sing about a passionate love that stands strong despite any challenges they encounter. The opening lines set the tone for the whole song, with shadows falling as they stand alone on the street. They acknowledge that everyone else they pass has their own heartache, but they are focused on their own love. The lyrics convey the idea that it should be illegal to be lonely or sad, and that their love is reason enough to battle on and keep fighting for their happiness. They sing about taking the love they share away, as if it's something they need to protect and keep hidden from the world, at least for a little while. They believe that their love is strong enough to climb any mountain, and they promise to never let it end.
Throughout the song, the lovers talk about how they have nothing to be guilty of, and nothing to be sorry for. Their love is sincere, pure, and honest. They acknowledge that there is danger in the dark, but they aren't afraid because their love will light the way forward. They describe their passion as "devotion," and sing about a highway to the sky, representing the limitless possibilities that exist when two people are truly in love.
The song is an uplifting tribute to love and the power it has to overcome any obstacle. The spirited melody and the harmonized voices of Streisand and Gibb create an emotional and unforgettable experience for the listener.
