"Hideaway"

Before I write Part Three of my story I just wanted to share this song with you. The words resonate so much with me and my experiences, including the part about "shuffling off to Rio de Janeiro"!
It is "Hideaway" sung by Barbra Streisand with lyrics by Barry Gibb.
Here is the video and the lyrics are below:

http://


I saw you looking in the mirror
I saw you fighting with your conscious
I think you need a little time away
And I may give you mine

And you could find me in the moon glow
You find me underneath your pillow
And we can find a little hideaway
Where we can go

I'm in the corner with a friend of mine
I stood with my defenses down
So many things that bring you close to me
That we be led astray

The wonder of desire
To love the things we cannot touch
Maybe we turn and say goodnight
And walk away

And then the story can go on without
A single tear
You take a chance on it
And change the history

And for a time we fall in love with someone
So who am I to say the words that say
We have found each other
Can we imagine any hideaway is right?

And our adventure
Down in paradise
Borne upon the wind
And we are one with the night

Maybe we shuffle off to Rio
A little Rio de Janeiro
And then I get a little chance to say
I'm falling into you!

And you and I can change the world
If we just try (One hideaway)
This lonely heart of mine has found
A mission for your light (In your world)

To make the sense of it
And solve the mystery (In my arms)
It's just the love you forever leave
With someone

So who am I to say the words that say
We've found each other? (One sunny day)
Can we imagine any
Hideaway is right (In your world)

And our adventure
Down in paradise (In my arms)
Born upon the wind
And we are one with the night

And our adventure down in paradise
Borne upon the wind
And we are one with the night
Hmmm-Hmmmmmm

You're welcome!
Incidentally it's from her 2006 CD Album "Guilty Pleasures" that she recorded with Barry Gibb - the new follow-up album to "Guilty"
that she also recorded with him in 1980...

Very apt words for your situation. The words most certainly mean a lot to you. X
