Barbara Lyrics by Michael Cantwell, Samantha Shaw

Starting Here, Starting Now (Original London Cast)

[WOMAN 1]
\nDa dum, da da da da da dum
\nDa da dum, dee dee dee dee dee dee
\nDee dee dee, da da da da da dum, da da

\n[MAN]
\nBarbara, they ought to name a star
\nFor Barbara, for anyplace we are
\nIt's Barbara who simply floods my world with light
\nSomehow, whenever I feel lost
\nIt's Barbara who comes along
\nTakes whatever's wrong
\nMakes it seem all right
\n
\nSomeday I'm going to write a song
\nFor Barbara, and make it rich and strong
\nTo tell her the love I feel inside that somehow never shows
\nI need her, each day it grows
\nBut somehow, I think that Barbara already knows\n\n
