Song of the Week: Song of the Week


This week's song is: "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life" as sung by one of the most successful singers and actresses of the 20th century: Barbara Streisand.

To get into the mood of the song in the context of this week's theme, you will have to imagine that the singer of the song is not in fact a person but a major [i.e. a subject you do in college] and that this major is asking to think about spending the rest of your life, "every summer, every winter of your life" with it.

Watch, listen [or watch and listen] and enjoy....

What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life:
Michel Legrand


What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East
And West of your life?
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me...

All the seasons and the times of your days
A-all the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me...

I want to see your face
In every kind of light
In fields of gold and
Forests of the night
And when you stand before
The candles on a cake
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two...

Throu-ough all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life
With you...ou-ou...,
