MAKE IT LIKE A MEMORY 
(Barry Gibb / Albhy Galuten ( M & l) )

As sung by Barbra Streisand 1980  < Guilty >

Didn't I like to hold you in my hand
I was doing you no harm
I made you understand
All my life I've been that way
It happened long ago.

Didn't I pray to love you through the night
I was dreaming wide awake
The early morning light, shine on me
A sorry state
My heart has told me so.

And storm clouds gather overhead
No shelter we can share
Lie down on my flower bed
I got no control
I would sell my soul
To be there.

So forever do or die
We just belong
Kiss hello , no wave goodbye
And the heat is stronger.

For the moment when we touch
No wind can hold me
Come from loving you too much
And the nights are longer.

Make it like a memory
Make it like a dream unreal
Make it like we never met
But I can't forget
It's how I feel.

Make it like a memory
Take away the sound and sight
There'll never be another love
With the power of you and I.

(bridge)

Maybe I'm wrong to hold you in my hand
I believed you when you lied
I tried to understand
All my life, I've been that way
It happened long ago.

Make it like a memory
Make it like a dream unreal
Make it like we never ever met
But I can't forget
It's how I feel.

Make it like a memory
Take away the sound and sight
There'll never be another love
With the power of you and I.

(instrumental to end)

Notes:

Albhy Galuten, a cowriter here and an American 
multi-talented record producer et al, was noted 
for creating the first commercial drum loop. He 
used it in one of the Bee Gees more popular disco 
productions in 1977,   (Stayin' Alive).

The other cowriter, Barry Gibb was one of the 
Bee Gees, a British pop music group. The 3 
brothers (Barry, Maurice and Robin) hailed 
from The Isle of Man and lived in the British 
Isles until the 1950s. Only one of the original 
Bee Gees lives on today (Barry). Their astounding 
run of 56 years (as of 2013) writing, producing 
and singing their own pop music creations, 
have resulted in sales of over 220 million units.

Barbra Streisand is an American singer song writer 
who also acts, produces and directs films. She has 
won a host of entertainment awards too numerous to 
mention.
