Actually, whenever I receive flowers from someone else or get them for myself (especially if they're still in the bud stage, as is often the case)...I sing this song to them while I'm trimming the ends of the stems before I put them in water. I love the joyful, encouraging, appreciative energy that this song has...for that matter, I think that may be part of the reason why Daisy (Streisand's character) does so well with plants in the film and not just because she's named for one!
I love your reply ! I just saw this YT and the comments ... I want to do this but for my house plants ,the ones I keep outside ,and when I receive flowers ...
A vocal masterpiece.I can't find one single flaw in this delivery,not a hair.Every syllable pronounced,every single note,oozing with honey and perfection.....You will never,ever have a singer better than Barbra when she was singing at this point in her life. I was mesmerized and floored by her singing in this musical.And that ending!!!!..moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore. omg!! Beyond human. Her voice and talent was colossal,gargantuan. Wow.
One of my all-time favorite songs from my all-time favorite Streisand film. I could never figure out why this movie wasn't a huge hit. Barbra was never lovelier, never in better voice or never so appealing. A true classic!
in my opinion the best babs song in any of her films. vincente minelli is a genius, a great director working with great raw talent results in fantastic results. barbra's best film.
OMG Just found this. This song could have been written for Ella - Sara V. - Lena - Billie - ALL of those voices are in this performance. And yet completely original and naturally superior. How it NEVER will be done again!
Funny Girl of course won her her first Oscar but for me Clear Day captured my soul. I will never forget seeing the coming attractions with her singing the title song. Rewatching some of these clips I see a performance that launched a thousand drag acts!! Thanks for posting!!!
Barbra never looked better on film than in this film. By their third collaboration, Harry Stradling really knew how to capture Barbra's beauty. Sadly he passed away after OWL, their fourth and last film together.
Barbra sings like buttah.her way of singing is acting out what the f*** happened and vocals are beautiful as well as her nails and her face it's one of the best movies in the first movies I saw for that I fell in love with her I'm clear that you can see forever I've been with me forever she is the best and always will be keep on going Barbara
This is a classic film opener with Barbra singing.Julie Andrews also memorable running up the hills of the swiss alps. Two other equally magnificent Sttreisand openers where she sings has got to be TWWW (ah,Hubbel jogging thru the campus,who can forget that?)and I believe 'Just Leave Everything to me',totally brilliant & ingenious music & lyrics by Jerry Herman and the incomparable,perfect vocal delivery by Barbra.
@Atlavocat I'm surprised to hear that because when they play in on TCM it has that scene. I'll have to check it out, but until then, if you're curious enough, I'm sure someone will answer your question at the TCM website.
I used to laugh at people who liked Streisand when I was a kid. Until one day I got to listen to this song from a friend's ipod. I was so impressed by her voice that I decided to give her a chance and since I have been a fan. When I compare the crap on the radio to songs like this I am very happy real composer/singers like her are still among us.
Tommy Tune told an anecdote about a small vocal rehearsal for Dolly where he describes being close to her while she's making her sound. To pararphrase he said it was luke there were colors coming out of her mouth... The voice was in marvelous shape throught this whole period.
I love "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever"!!!! But I have a question, when I first saw the movie on television in the 1960's there was a scene at the end of the movie where they are in Virginia in a beautiful house high on a hill (in the future) - but it's not on the DVD. Anyone know what happened to that scene?
Same .. but I've always said her insane talent transcends her whack job lefty politics. Also, I'll give her credit; as WRONG as she is, at least she's the real deal going all the way back to '72.
James Sullivan Don't be mean! Barbara Harris was very good in a lot of plays/movies. But there's only one Streisand, and it's unfair to make comparisons.

The lady who described herself as the actress who could sing a bit. Yeah a bit
You just cannot help but to smile watching this; Barbra's appeal during this era is undeniable.
The lyrics to this song are just fabulous!!
Sung by Barbra like no one else could!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is one of my all time favorite Streisand songs. I can't believe her voice. Thanks for sharing.
One of my all-time favorite songs from my all-time favorite Streisand film. I could never figure out why this movie wasn't a huge hit. Barbra was never lovelier, never in better voice or never so appealing. A true classic!
She's absolutely beautiful...
I can't get enough of this song. It cheers me up so. She was amazing !!!!! Vocal perfection at that time in her early career.
AWESOME....I love this version of this beautiful song;....Nobody sings it better than Barbra Sreisand !!!
in my opinion the best babs song in any of her films. vincente minelli is a genius, a great director working with great raw talent results in fantastic results. barbra's best film.
Best opening to a film, EVER !!
Flowers are very sensual and should be touched by the soul!Lady Judith
No CGI here, it's all time lapse photography. Barbra was wonderful in both roles in the movie. That voice!
I love her jewels, nails, rings, gown, head dress and everything about this scene. So Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!! the GREAT STAR EVER #1 Love Love LOVE HER!!! this is truly one of my favorite movies her voice is SUPER!!!
I love this movie! She did a wonderful job playing both parts. Her singing was way beyond grand as always.
No one in this world is better than Barbra.
This is my favorite opening to a movie too. Second best could be Sound of Music.
OMG Just found this. This song could have been written for Ella - Sara V. - Lena - Billie -
ALL of those voices are in this performance. And yet completely original and naturally superior. How it NEVER will be done again!
love it. minnelli uses time-lapse photography, relatively new in 1970, to capture how the main character makes flowers grow fast. genious
I just love this song,it's terrific!Beautiful Barbra.
My sister use to be pumping out Barbra Streisand every day. Not bad.
beautiful, i this with singing with flowers! i bet they r happy!
I was wondering,too.i think The music And her acting is outstanding in this movie.i loooove it
I loved this movie.
Total perfection.
Barbra sounds great, of course, but let us not forget the terrific Nelson Riddle orchestrations.
Funny Girl of course won her her first Oscar but for me Clear Day captured my soul. I will never forget seeing the coming attractions with her singing the title song. Rewatching some of these clips I see a performance that launched a thousand drag acts!! Thanks for posting!!!
I love this...I saw this in the movie theatre when it came out and loved it then!
She's fantastic in this, like every other song she sings. I love her hair in this aswell.
Barbra never looked better on film than in this film. By their third collaboration, Harry Stradling really knew how to capture Barbra's beauty. Sadly he passed away after OWL, their fourth and last film together.
Yes -- let's hear it for the orchestra -- they are used so very well in this movie!
even in her 70th year, she still has that star quality!
Made my day.
My favorite movie !
I freaking love this song... Makes me want to get out of bed when I am blue...

Wow! Thanks for posting the lyrics. I never could make out all of the words.

I was wondering ,too

My all time Favorite Songstress EVER!!!!!!
Love Her #1 Always!!!!!
Jack NIcholson. He loved the present her and Yves Montand her past her.

Streisand Concert 2011!!!!!!
This is how I feel today. hahahahaha

@mikesterSTLMO it's undeniably her best film performance - but working with vincente minelli assures great performances.
that movie was so funny how she would plant stuff and it would instantly grow
!
*love
Personally I dont like her politics. But the voice is unmatched. Wonderful and the ultimate defininitive version of a classic.
Same .. but I've always said her insane talent transcends her whack job lefty politics. Also, I'll give her credit; as WRONG as she is, at least she's the real deal going all the way back to '72.
If you think her politics are whacky how would describe Trumps?! By the way, she was a vocal supporter of equality and civil rights as early as 1964.
@@chrisn7259, yeah right-wing trump cultists think concepts such as civil rights is whacko liberal politics. Go figure.
what is the name of this musical?
On a clear day you can see forever...... Beautiful movie.
Time to put on your thinking caps and name a featured actor who went on to an endearing career flying over a cuckoo's nest.
Good luck.
Ok who became the bigger star? Streisand or Barbara Harris who?
James Sullivan Don't be mean! Barbara Harris was very good in a lot of plays/movies. But there's only one Streisand, and it's unfair to make comparisons.
@mikesterSTLMO ikr
Nelson riddle did the arrangements
She singts very well as always but the best of the performers of this son is the woman who introduced it onBroadway Barbara Harris
What key is this in, please.
Hi Peggy, it starts in C and then modulates down into Bb and returns to C at 2:08 - quite unusual :)
@@Karen-ci5eu Thank you so much!
hehe, you started smoking because of daisy gambel?
fingernails realness....
