As If We Never Said Goodbye from Back to Broadway is a tour de force by Barbra and been a long time favorite of mine.
She opened her magnificent return to the concert stage with this song at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for her New Year's Eve and New Year's Day shows back in 1993/1994.
It was originally from the Broadway musical Sunset Boulevard and also performed by actress Glenn Close.

LYRICS
"As If We Never Said Goodbye"
by: DON BLACK, CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON, ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER
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!
