Back to Broadway es un álbum de Barbra Streisand, publicado en 1993. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Some Enchanted Evening», «Everybody Says Don't», «The Music of the Night» y «Speak Low».
Sobre el álbum
El disco Back to Broadway funciona como la exitosa secuela de su aclamado "The Broadway Album", con Barbra Streisand regresando una vez más al repertorio del teatro musical. En este trabajo la artista vuelve a reinterpretar clásicos y joyas menos conocidas de los grandes compositores de Broadway, como Andrew Lloyd Webber o, de nuevo, Stephen Sondheim. Streisand demuestra una vez más su maestría absoluta como actriz de la canción, dotando a cada pieza de una profundidad dramática única.
El álbum incluye duetos estelares, como el que realiza con Michael Crawford en "The Music of the Night". La producción es, una vez más, impecable, con arreglos orquestales majestuosos que sirven de perfecto vehículo para su voz. "Back to Broadway" fue otro éxito de ventas que debutó en el número uno, reafirmando que el idilio de Barbra con Broadway era una de las historias de amor más bellas de la música.

Letra
I don't know why I'm frightened I know my way around here The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here Yes, a world to rediscover But I 'm not in any hurry And I need a moment The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways The atmosphere as thrilling here as always Feel the early morning madness Feel the magic in the making Why, everything's as if we never said goodbye I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you I'm trembling now, you can't know how I've missed you Missed the fairy tale adventure In this ever spinning playground We were young together I'm coming out of make-up The lights already burning Not long until the cameras will start turning And the early morning madness And the magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye I don't want to be alone That's all in the past This world's waited long enough I've come home at last! And this time will be bigger And brighter than we knew it So watch me fly, we all know I can do it Could I stop my hand from shaking? Has there ever been a moment With so much to live for? The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways So much to say not just today but always We'll have early morning madness We'll have magic in the making Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye We taught the world new ways to dream! - Children Will Listen4:09
Letra
How do you say to your child in the night Nothing is all black but then nothing is all white? How do you say it will all be alright When you know that it mightn't be true? What do you do? Careful the things you say, Children will listen. Careful the things you do, Children will see. And learn. Children may not obey, But children will listen. Children will look to you For which way to turn, To learn what to be. Careful before you say, "listen to me." Children will listen. Careful the wish you make, Wishes are children. Careful the path they take, Wishes come true, Not free. Careful the spell you cast, Not just on children. Sometimes the spell may last Past what you can see And turn against you... Careful the tale you tell. That is the spell. Children will listen... How can you say to a child who's in flight, Don't slip away and i won't hold so tight? What can you say that no matter how slight won't be misunderstood? What do you leave to your child when you're dead Only what ever you put in its head Things that your mother and father had said Which were left to them too. Careful what you say, children will listen Careful you do it too, children will see and learn. Oh! Guide them but step away, Children will glisten. Temper with what is true And children will turn, If just to be free. Careful before you say, "listen to me." Children will listen... Children will listen!
