Songwriters: SPRIGGS, C. MICHAEL/BYRD, ANDY/ELLIS, LINDSAY

Someday, somewhere
Well find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
Theres a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
Theres a time for us
Someday therell time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
Well find a new way of living
Will find theres a way of forgiving
Somewhere... somewhere... somewhere...
Theres a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and were half way there
Just hold my hand and Ill take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...

１９８５年底　４３歲的美國演藝長青天后芭芭拉．史翠珊（Barbra Streisand）發行首張音樂劇翻唱經典〔The Broadway Album〕

個人並難得參與製作

結果大受好評　登上排行榜冠軍　賣出４白金成績　並獲得葛萊美獎肯定

再創音樂事業高峰

首支單曲〔Somewhere〕出自１９５７年上演的音樂劇經典〔West Side Story／西城故事〕

被許多歌手翻唱過

芭芭拉版由大衛福斯特製作成一首氣勢磅礡的成人抒情曲

在史翠珊寬廣音域的詮釋下　讓人感受到浩翰的空間感

此曲登上美國流行榜＃４３　成人抒情榜＃５　加拿大＃７２　英國＃８８

商業成績並不突出

但就跟芭芭拉許多名曲一樣　〔Somewhere〕成為後來她演唱會的必選曲目

而且常被拿來作起頭或結尾　也史翠珊成為另一首經典歌曲

〔The Broadway Album〕隔年也被提名葛萊美年度專輯

並為芭芭拉拿到另一座最佳流行女歌手獎

〔Somewhere〕被許多歌手翻唱過　史翠珊的詮釋無疑是最著名的版本之一
