Streisand loved the music to The Yearling, a Broadway music with music by Michael Leonard and lyrics by Herbert Martin. 

The show, starring David Wayne, opened on December 10th, 1965 at the Alvin Theatre in New York and closed (after only 3 performances) on December 11th. The Yearling was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a boy and his pet fawn by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.

This B-side of this single is unique because she recorded the song twice: On the album My Name is Barbra the song is “My Pa.” On this single, it's “My Love” — probably considered more universal and less show-specific. See the lyric changes below.

“My Love” has never been released digitally.

“My Pa”



My Pa can light my room at night

With just his being near

And make a fear for dream all right

By grinning ear to ear

My Pa can do most anything

He sets his mind to do

He'd even move a mountain

If he really wanted to

My Pa can sweeten up a day

That clouds and rain make grey

And tell me funny stories

That will chase the clouds away



My Pa's the only one on earth

I can tell my troubles to

His arms are house and home to me

His face's a pretty poem to me

My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew

I only wish that you could know him too

“My Love”

My love can light the darkest night

With just his being near

And fill my heart with music

No other heart can hear

With one sweet, gentle kiss

My love can lift me to the skies

And change the winter into spring

When he looks into my eyes

My love can sweeten up a day

That clouds and rain make grey

And just his reassuring smile

Will chase the clouds away

My love is all the world to me

And I need nothing more

His arms are house and home to me

His face a lyric poem to me

The world has known no love like ours before

My love is all that I am living for.
