ALONE IN THE WORLD
(Jerry Goldsmith (m) / Alan Bergman (l) / Marilyn Bergman (l) 1990)

Barbra Streisand August 2011

This song production directed by Barbra Streisand 
on her 33rd Columbia studio album 'What Matters Most'.
>From the 1990 movie ‘The Russia House’ 
(Sean Connery / Michelle Pfeiffer) and adapted from 
the John LeCarre’s novel.


Tonight, why not pretend
We're alone in the world
And that we're safe
>From the storm out there.

You'll be the only love
That I've known in the world
No clocks to measure
The time we share.

Out there the winds
Are bitter cold
And there is too much pain
And far too little love
To few of us who care.

The here and now
Is all that we own in the world
And love's the refuge
That sees us through.

Sleep inside my arms
Kiss the world away
Let tomorrow come
Let me face the day with you.

The here and now
Is all that we own in the world
And love's the refuge
That sees us through.

Oh, sleep inside my arms
Kiss the world away
Let tomorrow come
Let me face the day with you.
