Paul Williams
Evergreen (Live)
[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
See the truth is that over the years when I find myself writing music, it's mostly out of necessity
If a movie I'm making needs a song, you know, I might take a stab at writing it
And that's how this one was born

[sung]
Love, soft as an easy chair

[spoken]
I'm coming over there soon!

[sung]
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

[spoken]
Now, one of the most gratifying things about having written this song is hearing it sung by other artists in other languages
And who better to sing it with me tonight than my special guests, Il Divo!


Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us


[BARBRA STREISAND & IL DIVO, sung]
'Cause we have the brightest love

Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and the midnight sun
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time, won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever, evergreen

[BARBRA STREISAND, spoken]
Il Divo!
