Jule Styne
A Serendipitous Encounter: Jule Styne's Influence in Barbra Streisand's Melody
Lyrics
Time after Time
Expressing a recurring situation or happening over time
I tell myself that I'm
Self-assurance or self-reassurance
So lucky to be..Jule Styne
Feeling fortunate or privileged to be associated with Jule Styne
When things seemed so dark
During difficult times
I walked up to Ray Stark
Approaching Ray Stark, a notable figure
And I said "Please meet a friend of mine
Introducing oneself and someone else
Ray Stark, Barbra Streisand, Barbra Streisand, Ray Stark "
Repeated introduction of Barbra Streisand and Ray Stark
Ms. Streisand sang and I played
Barbra Streisand singing while Jule Styne played
He said ,she looks just like my maid
A comparison made by Ray Stark
Just you do your job and I'll do mine
Emphasizing roles and responsibilities
Which just goes to show
Highlighting a lesson or example
How much producers know
Commenting on the knowledge of producers
He said ?Bellbath? would be divine
Ray Stark's expression of approval or admiration for "Bellbath"
You all know the switch
Referring to a familiar situation or occurrence
The maid, she made him rich
Implying the maid's impact on Ray Stark's wealth
For which he hates Jule Styne
Expressing Ray Stark's resentment or dislike towards Jule Styne
