— the final scene of barbra streisand standing under the spotlight in funny girl belting out the words as follows,

“oh my man i love him so
he’ll never know

all my life is just a spare
but i don’t care

when he takes me in his arms
the world is bright
alright

what’s the difference if i say
i’ll go away

when i know i’ll come back
on my knee someday

for whatever my man is
i am his
forever
more …”

feels like life itself, achingly true —

(barbra streisand – my man – ost. funny girl – 1968)
