Baby I can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I’ve never felt the same
But I am not a bird and I am not a plane
I’m superman
When you love me it’s easy
I can do almost anything
Watch me turn around, one wing up and one wing down
I never thought I could fall in love for good
I’m superman
When you love me it’s easy
My sweet life has just begun
I’m in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There’s nothing I can do
When I’m with you
I’m superman
Cause I’m with you
It’s easy
My sweet life has just begun
I’m in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There’s nothing I can do
Cause I’m with you
I’m superman

About Lyrics and Superman by Barbra Streisand

The lyrics for Superman are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1977 song by Barbra Streisand. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Superman have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Superman - Barbra Streisand and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Superman by Barbra Streisand in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Superman" means the words set to the music of Superman, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Barbra Streisand. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Superman and the lyrics to Superman are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Barbra Streisand who came here looking just for the lyrics to Superman, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
