Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman - Any Moment Now

Barbra Streisand and Hugh Jackman Duet from
ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway
I have edited out the talking so it's just the song without the play banter.

[chunchan]

Any moment now, he'll notice me
Me, and my butterfly heart
Any moment now, he'll turn around and grin
And say at last where have you been?
We're late for daybreak on the Riviera
If not the Riviera, the beach at Malibu
The rich Madera sunset, going on forever
With my arms growing cold,
And his arms growing warm with life unfolding
Any moment now, he'll say to me
Why don't you follow your heart?
How can he know that I've been praying he'd arrive
Afraid to come alive till then, just saying
Any moment now

HUGH
Any moment now, she'll notice me
Me and my, simple guy ways
Any moment now, she'd said she'd settle down
If that were true I'd paint the town
I'd take her flying to Atlantic City
If not Atlantic City, to see Niagara Falls
I know a pretty trout stream up above Seattle
What a life we could build
in a home, that is filled with love and laughter

TOGETHER
Any moment now

BARBRA
You'd say to me

HUGH
You'd humor me

BARBRA
Chase the past

HUGH
Those overcast days

TOGETHER
How can I begin?
Forgetting where we've been

BARBRA
To love

TOGETHER
To let the laughter in again

BARBRA
It's always any moment now

HUGH
Oh any moment now

Damon I actually LOVE that you did this. I had been editing out all the dialogue myself. It was fun for the first listen, but not for repeated playing. IMO it ruined the actual songs and I hadn't tried to play it again since summer 2016! I "get" the artistic motivation but I don't think she realized how irritating it would sound on subsequent plays. The only one I kept intact was the duet with Melissa McCarthy, that banter does add to the song! Sorry Babs. ;)

Dear Damon: It's not "play banter". It was written for the CD to give the song a context. I'm sorry, but I think you seriously diminish the impact of the lyrics and the song. It's about a marriage falling apart, which is not readily apparent without the professionally written "banter" (NOT from the play).. But, thank you for doing this. I realize your intention was cetainly not malevolent.
