Cool Yule Lyrics – Bette Midler
From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Yeah, from Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when the Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Have a yule that's cool
Yeah, cool yule
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Yeah, from Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when the Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Have a yule that's cool
Yeah, cool yule
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Lyrics – Bette Midler
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Winter Wonderland Lyrics – Bette Midler
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
I'll Be Home For Christmas Lyrics – Bette Midler
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? Lyrics – Bette Midler
When the bells all ring
And the horns all blow
And the coubles we know
Are fondly kissing
Will I be with you
Or will I be amoung the missing
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same.
What are you doing New Year's... New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night?
Welcoming in the New Year... New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose...
Out of the thousand invitations you'll received ?
But in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance...

I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm Lyrics – Bette Midler
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December

So I will weather the storm!

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Lyrics – Bette Midler
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave

Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.

From A Distance Lyrics – Bette Midler
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man.
From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.
From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance
Mele Kalikimaka Lyrics – Bette Midler
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Xmas will be green and bright
Sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you.
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Xmas will be green and bright
Sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you.
White Christmas Lyrics – Bette Midler
The sun is shining, the grass is green,
the orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day
in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty fourth,
and I am longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases,
all your Christmases,
all your Christmases be white.
the orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day
in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty fourth,
and I am longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases,
all your Christmases,
all your Christmases be white.
Fever Lyrics – Bette Midler
Never know how much I love you.
Never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning.
Fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime,
And moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name,
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning,
And fever all through the night.
Everybody's got the fever.
That is something you all know.
Fever isn't such a new thing.
Fever started long ago.
Romeo loved Juliet.
Juliet, she felt the same.
When he put his arms around her,
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame.
Thou giveth fever when we kisseth.
Fever with thy flaming youth.
Fever, I'm afire.
Fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."
Cap'n Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair.
When her daddy tried to kill him,
She said, "Daddy, oh, don't you dare.
He gives me fever with his kisses.
Fever when he holds me tight.
Fever, I'm his missus,
So Daddy, won't you treat him right."
Now you've listened to my story,
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever,
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
They give you fever when you kiss them.
Fever if you live and learn.
Fever 'til you sizzle.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
Never know how much I care.
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning.
Fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime,
And moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name,
And you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me.
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning,
And fever all through the night.
Everybody's got the fever.
That is something you all know.
Fever isn't such a new thing.
Fever started long ago.

Juliet, she felt the same.
When he put his arms around her,
He said, "Julie, baby, you're my flame.

I Love Being Here With You Lyrics – Bette Midler
I love the East. I love the West.
North and South, their both the best.
But I only want go there as a guest,
'cause I love being here with you.
I love the sea. I love the shore.
I love the rocks, and what is more,
You and they never be a bore,
'cause I love being here with you.
Singing in the shower,
Laughing by the hour.
Life is such a breezy game.
I love all kinds of weather
As log as we're together.
Oh, I love to hear you say my name.
I love good wine, fine cuisine,
Candle light. I love the scene.
'Cause, baby, if you know just what I mean,
I love being here with you.
I like a Dance by Fred Astaire,
And Brando's eyes, Yul Brynner's hair.
But I think to tell you's only fair,
That I love being here with you.
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day,
His utter charm takes me away.
But don't get me wrong, how do you say,
I love being here with you.
Basie's band a-swingin',
I like Ella's singing.
'Cause there's something else, you know,
They know how to say it,
They know how to play it,
They wind it up and let it go.
I love the thrill of New York shows.
I'd love to kiss Durante's nose.
But I'll like to say before I close,
I love being here with you!
North and South, their both the best.
But I only want go there as a guest,
'cause I love being here with you.
I love the sea. I love the shore.
I love the rocks, and what is more,
You and they never be a bore,
'cause I love being here with you.
Singing in the shower,
Laughing by the hour.
Life is such a breezy game.
I love all kinds of weather

Oh, I love to hear you say my name.

Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe Lyrics – Bette Midler
It seem like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow.
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by.
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare,
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere.
Troubles fly away and life is easy go.
Does he love me good? That's all I need to know.
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare,
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere.
Troubles fly away and life is easy go.
Does he love me good? That's all I need to know.
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
Little Joe, my little Joe, little Joe.
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow.
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know little Joe's passing by.
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare,
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere.
Troubles fly away and life is easy go.
Does he love me good? That's all I need to know.
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare,
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere.
Troubles fly away and life is easy go.
Does he love me good? That's all I need to know.
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe.
Little Joe, my little Joe, little Joe.
Is That All There Is? Lyrics – Bette Midler
"I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears and a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle, I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a circus?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't.
And when I didn't, I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to love?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
'If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?'
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself..."
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.

I'm A Woman Lyrics – Bette Midler
Well I can wash out forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em on the line.
You know I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'fore you can count from one to nine.
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can.
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping,
And be back before it melts in the pan.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Well I can rub and scrub
'til this house shines just like a dime.
Feed the baby, grease the car,
Powder my nose at the same time.
You know I can get all dressed up,
Go out swinging with the M-A-N,
Jump in bed at five, sleep 'til 6,
And start all over again.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Well now if you come to me sick,
You know that I'm gonna make you well.
And if you come to me all hexed up,
You know I'm gonna break the spell.
And if you come to me hungry,
You know I'll feed ya full of my grits.
And if it's loving you want,
I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'll say it again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Well, I got a twenty dollar gold fee
That says there's nothing that I can't do.
Well, I can make a dress out of feeding sacks,
And I can make a man out Of you.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'll say it again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'm a woman.
I'm a woman.
I'm a woman.
Yeah, I'm a woman.
And have 'em on the line.
You know I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'fore you can count from one to nine.
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can.
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping,
And be back before it melts in the pan.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...

He's A Tramp Lyrics – Bette Midler
He's a tramp, but I love him.
Breaks a new heart every day.
He's a tramp. They adore him.
And I only hope he'll stay that way.
He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel,
He's a rounder, he's a cad.
He's a tramp, but I love him.
Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad.
You can never tell when he'll show up.
He gives you plenty of trouble.
I guess he's just a no account pup,
But I wish that he were double.
He's a tramp, he's a rover,
And there's nothing more to say.
If he's a tramp, he's a good one,
And I wish that I could travel his way.
Breaks a new heart every day.
He's a tramp. They adore him.
And I only hope he'll stay that way.
He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel,
He's a rounder, he's a cad.
He's a tramp, but I love him.
Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad.
You can never tell when he'll show up.
He gives you plenty of trouble.
I guess he's just a no account pup,
But I wish that he were double.
He's a tramp, he's a rover,
And there's nothing more to say.
If he's a tramp, he's a good one,
And I wish that I could travel his way.
The Folks Who Live On The Hill Lyrics – Bette Midler
Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals.
Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls.
I am of the latter brand. All I want to do
Is to find a spot of land and live there with you.
Someday we'll build a home
On a hilltop high, you and I,
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill.
And we'll be pleased to be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Someday we may be adding
A thing or two, a wing or two.
We will make changes as any family will.
But we will always be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green,
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen.
And when the kids grow up and leave us,
We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two.
Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill,
The folks like to be called
What they have always been called,
"The folks who live on the hill."
Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls.
I am of the latter brand. All I want to do
Is to find a spot of land and live there with you.
Someday we'll build a home
On a hilltop high, you and I,
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill.
And we'll be pleased to be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Someday we may be adding
A thing or two, a wing or two.
We will make changes as any family will.
But we will always be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green,
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen.
And when the kids grow up and leave us,
We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two.
Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill,
The folks like to be called
What they have always been called,
"The folks who live on the hill."
Big Spender Lyrics – Bette Midler
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction.
A real big spender,
Good lookin', so refined.
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin on in my mind?
So let me get to the point.
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.
Hey big spender,
Spend a little time with me.
Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?
How's about a few laughs, laughs, laughs?
I can show you a good time.
Let me show you a good time.
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction.
A real big spender,
Good lookin', so refined.
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin on in my mind?
So let me get to the point.
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.
Hey big spender,
Hey big spender,
Hey big spender,
Spend a little time with me.
I could see you were a man of distinction.
A real big spender,
Good lookin', so refined.
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin on in my mind?
So let me get to the point.
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.
Hey big spender,
Spend a little time with me.
Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?
How's about a few laughs, laughs, laughs?
I can show you a good time.
Let me show you a good time.

I could see you were a man of distinction.
A real big spender,
Good lookin', so refined.
Say, wouldn't you like to know
What's goin on in my mind?
So let me get to the point.
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.
Hey big spender,
Hey big spender,
Hey big spender,
Spend a little time with me.
Mr. Wonderful Lyrics – Bette Midler
Why this feeling? Why this glow?
Why the thrill when you say hello?
It's a strange and tender magic you do.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
Why this trembling when you speak?
Why this joy when you touch my cheek?
I must tell you what my heart knows is true.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
And why this longing to know your charms?
To spend forever here in your arms?
Oh, there's much more I could say,
But the words keep slipping away,
And I'm left with one point of view.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
One more thing, then I'm through.
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful, I love you!
Why the thrill when you say hello?
It's a strange and tender magic you do.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
Why this trembling when you speak?
Why this joy when you touch my cheek?
I must tell you what my heart knows is true.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
And why this longing to know your charms?
To spend forever here in your arms?
Oh, there's much more I could say,
But the words keep slipping away,
And I'm left with one point of view.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
One more thing, then I'm through.
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful, I love you!
He Needs Me Lyrics – Bette Midler
He needs me.
He doesn't know it, but he needs me.
And so no matter where he goes,
Though he doesn't care,
He knows that I'm here.
He needs me.
I ought to leave him, but he needs me.
I know that I ain't very bright
Just to tag along,
Oh, but right or wrong
I'm his and I'm here,
And I'm gonna be his friend or his lover.
'Cause my one ambition is
To wake him and make him discover
That he needs me.
I've got to follow where he leads me
Or else he'll never know that I need him
Just as he needs me.
He doesn't know it, but he needs me.
And so no matter where he goes,
Though he doesn't care,
He knows that I'm here.
He needs me.
I ought to leave him, but he needs me.
I know that I ain't very bright
Just to tag along,
Oh, but right or wrong
I'm his and I'm here,
And I'm gonna be his friend or his lover.
'Cause my one ambition is
To wake him and make him discover
That he needs me.
I've got to follow where he leads me
Or else he'll never know that I need him
Just as he needs me.
You'll Never Know Lyrics – Bette Midler
You'll never know just how much I miss you.
You'll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you.
You oughtta know, for haven't I told you so
a million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you.
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don't know how.
You'll never know if you don't know now.
You'll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you.
You oughtta know, for haven't I told you so
a million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you.
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don't know how.
You'll never know if you don't know now.
This Ole House Lyrics – Bette Midler
This ole house once knew my children.
This ole house once knew my life.
This ole house was home and comfort
as we lived through storm and strife.
This ole house once rang with laughter.
This ole house heard many shouts.
Now she trembles in the darkness
when the lightning walks about.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house is gettin' shaky.
This ole house is gettin' old.
This ole house lets in the rain.
This ole house lets in the cold.
On my knees I'm gettin' shaky,
but I feel no fear or pain,
'cause I see an angel peekin'
through a broken window pane.
I ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
I ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house is afraid of thunder.
This ole house is afraid of storms.
This ole house just groans and trembles
when the night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble.
This old house is needin' paint.
Just like me it's tuckered out,
but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
I ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house once knew my life.
This ole house was home and comfort
as we lived through storm and strife.
This ole house once rang with laughter.
This ole house heard many shouts.
Now she trembles in the darkness
when the lightning walks about.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house is gettin' shaky.
This ole house is gettin' old.
This ole house lets in the rain.
This ole house lets in the cold.
On my knees I'm gettin' shaky,
but I feel no fear or pain,
'cause I see an angel peekin'

I ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.

Hey There Lyrics – Bette Midler
Lately when I_m in my room all by myself,
in this solitary gloom I call to myself:
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,
love never made a fool of you. You used to be too wise.
Hey there, you on that high-flying cloud,
though he won_t throw a crumb to you, you think some day he_ll come to you.
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air.
He's got you dancing on a string. Break it and he won_t care.
Won_t you take this advice I hand you like a mother?
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all goin_ in one ear and out the other?
And out the other?
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,
Are you talkin' to me?
love never made a fool of you.
Not until now.
You used to be so wise.
Oh, that was a long time ago.
Hey there,
What?
you on that high-flyin' cloud,
though he won_t throw a crumb to you,
you think some day he_s gonna come to you.
Woah, better forget him.
Forget him.
He's got his nose in the air.
He's got his nose in the air.
He'll have you dancing on a string.
A puppet on a string.
Break it and he won_t care.
He won't care for you.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a mother?
Or are you not seein_ things too clear?
Are you just too far gone to hear?
Is it all goin_ in one ear and out the other?
in this solitary gloom I call to myself:
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,
love never made a fool of you. You used to be too wise.
Hey there, you on that high-flying cloud,
though he won_t throw a crumb to you, you think some day he_ll come to you.
Better forget him, him with his nose in the air.
He's got you dancing on a string. Break it and he won_t care.

Tenderly Lyrics – Bette Midler
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by,
and lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by,
and lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.
Come On-A My House Lyrics – Bette Midler
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you candy.
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you

Mambo Italiano Lyrics – Bette Midler
A boy went back to Napoli,
because he missed the scenery,
the native dancers and the charming songs.
But wait a minute, something's wrong.
Hey! Hey!
Now it's hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano!
Hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano!
Go, go, Joe, you mixed up Sigiliano.
All you Calabrese do the mambo like crazy.
And hey Mambo! Don't wanna tarantella,
Hey Mambo! No more-a moozzarella.
Hey Mambo! Hey Mambo Italiano.
Try an enchilada with a fish-a-barcalada.
Hey goombah!
I love-a how you dance rumba.
But take-a some advice paisano,
learn how to mambo.
If you're gonna be a square,
you're never gonna go nowhere.
Hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano!
Hey Mambo, hey Mambo Italiano!
Go, go, Joe, shake-a like a Gioviano.
Hello quesadicha,

Sisters Lyrics – Bette Midler (feat. Linda Ronstadt)
[Both:] Sisters, sisters,
There were never such devoted sisters.
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir.
[Linda:] I'm here to keep my eye on her.
[Both:] Caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing.
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome,
[Bette:] she wore the dress and I stayed home.
[Both:] All kinds of weather, we stick together,
the same in the rain or sun.
Two different faces, but in tight places
we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!
Those who've seen us
know that not a thing can come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister that comes between me and my man.
All kinds of weather, we stick together,
the same in the rain or sun.
Two different faces, but in tight places
we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!
Those who've seen us
know that not a thing could come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man.
Sisters!
Sisters!
Sisters!
Don't you come
between me and my man!
There were never such devoted sisters.
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir.
[Linda:] I'm here to keep my eye on her.
[Both:] Caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing.
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome,
[Bette:] she wore the dress and I stayed home.
[Both:] All kinds of weather, we stick together,

Two different faces, but in tight places

Those who've seen us
know that not a thing can come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister that comes between me and my man.
All kinds of weather, we stick together,

Two different faces, but in tight places
we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!
Those who've seen us

Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,

Don't you come

Memories Of You Lyrics – Bette Midler
Why can't I forget like I should?
Heaven knows I would if I could.
But I just can't keep you off my mind.
Though you're gone, I have to explain,
all around me you still remain.
Wonder why fate should be so unkind?
Waking skies at sunrise,
every sunset, too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere,
scenes that we once knew.
And they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears
that have left
a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams
spite of all I do.
Everything seems to bring
memories of you.
Those memories of you.
Heaven knows I would if I could.
But I just can't keep you off my mind.
Though you're gone, I have to explain,
all around me you still remain.
Wonder why fate should be so unkind?
Waking skies at sunrise,
every sunset, too,
seems to be bringing me
memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere,
scenes that we once knew.
And they all just recall
memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
those happy yesteryears
that have left
a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams
spite of all I do.
Everything seems to bring
memories of you.
Those memories of you.
In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening Lyrics – Bette Midler
Sue wants a barbeque.
Sam wants to boil a ham.
Grace votes for builabaise stew.
Jake wants a weenie bake,
stake and a layer cake.
He'll get a tummy ache, too.
We'll rent a tent or teepee.
Let the town cryer cry.
And if it's RSVP,
this is what I'll reply:
In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin',
tell 'em I'll be there.
In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin',
better save a chair.
When the party's gettin' a glow on,
singin' fills the air.
In the shank of the night,
when the doins' are right,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
"Oui," said the bumblebee,
"Let's have jubilee."
"When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?"
"Sure," said the dinosaur.
"Where?" said the grisly bear.
"Under the light of the moon."
"How 'bout your brother, jackass?"
everyone gaily cried.
"You comin' to the fracas?"
"Offer respects," he sighed.
In the coooool of the evenin',
tell 'em I'll be there.
In the coooool of the evenin',
better save a chair.
When the party's gettin' a glow on,
singin' fills the air.
If I ain't in a clique,
and there's something to pick,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
If I can crawl out of bed
and slap a hat on my head,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
If there's room for one more,
and you need me, why sure,
tell 'em, tell 'em I'll be there.

White Christmas Lyrics – Bette Midler
The sun is shining, the grass is green,
the orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day
in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty fourth,
and I am longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases,
all your Christmases,
all your Christmases be white.
the orange and palm trees sway.
There's never been such a day
in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty fourth,
and I am longing to be up north.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white.
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases,
all your Christmases,
all your Christmases be white.
That's How Heartaches Are Made Lyrics – Bette Midler
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
They told me I was such a fool to love you.
They said that you're the kind who'd never be true.
Pretty soon the day would come when I'd be the sorry one.
But I said that I'm not afraid.
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
I went ahead and my heart opened the door.
I gave you so much love. No one could love more.
You pretended to be mine. How could you be so unkind,
with all the other girls you play?
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
Woah-oh-oh, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
I know you're not sincere and you'll never be.
But still I want those kisses so desperately.
I could never let you go, baby even though I know
every rule in love you disobeyed.
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made . . .
That's how heartaches are made.
They told me I was such a fool to love you.
They said that you're the kind who'd never be true.
Pretty soon the day would come when I'd be the sorry one.
But I said that I'm not afraid.
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.
I went ahead and my heart opened the door.
I gave you so much love. No one could love more.
You pretended to be mine. How could you be so unkind,

I could never let you go, baby even though I know
every rule in love you disobeyed.
Well, that's how heartaches are made.
That's how heartaches are made.

In These Shoes Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Gentlemen, gentlemen please! Senors, por favor!"
I once met a man with a sense of adventure.
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went.
He said, "Let's make love on a mountaintop,
under the stars on a big hard rock."
I said, "In these shoes? What is this, the Peace Corps?"
I said, "Honey, let's do it here."
So we're sittin' at a bar in Guadalajara,
in walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes.
He says, "I've got a powerful horse outside.
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride.
I know a little place we can get before the break of day."
I said, "In these shoes? No way, Jose!"
I said, "Honey, let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.
?Como se puede bailar?
Es un escandalo!
Then I met an Englishman.
"Oh," he said, "Are you American?
Won't you walk up and down on my spine?
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said, "In these shoes? Oh, I doubt you'd survive."
I said, "Honey . . . let's do it . . . hehehehe"
"Let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar.
No puede montar a cabailo.

God Give Me Strength Lyrics – Bette Midler
Now I have nothing, so God give me strength,
'cause I'm weak anyway,
and if I'm strong, I might still break.
And I don't have anything to share
that I won't throw away into the air.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.
I can't hold on to him.
God give me strength.
When the phone doesn't ring
and I'm lost in imagining
everything that kind of love is worth
as I tumble back down to the earth.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline,
I might as well wipe him from my memory.
Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy.
And maybe I was washed out
like a lip print on a shirt.
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt.
I want him, I want him to hurt.
Since I lost the power to pretend
that there could ever be a happy ending.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.
Oooooooh. Oooooh.
Wipe him from my memory.
Oooh. I got to him wipe him from my memory.
Mmmm. Ooooooooh.
'cause I'm weak anyway,
and if I'm strong, I might still break.
And I don't have anything to share
that I won't throw away into the air.
That song is sung out.
This bell is rung out.
He was the light that I'd bless.
He took my last chance of happiness.
So God give me strength.
God give me strength.

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) Lyrics – Bette Midler
Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by.
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
must surely be a dream come true.
Out of all the women in the world,
he belongs to only you.
But it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
Soon we'll be married
and raise a family.
A cozy little home out in the country
with two kids or three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems.
Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
runnin' away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
Every night on my knees I pray:
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take his love from me
or I will surely, surely die.
His love is heavenly.
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality
he doesn't even know me.
Once again
runnin' away with me.
Ohh, just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me.
Just my imagination
runnin' away with me . . .
I watch him as he passes by.
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy."
To have a love like that
must surely be a dream come true.
Out of all the women in the world,
he belongs to only you.
But it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
Soon we'll be married
and raise a family.
A cozy little home out in the country
with two kids or three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems.
Ohh, but it was just my imagination, once again
runnin' away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
runnin' away with me.
Every night on my knees I pray:
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take his love from me

It was just my imagination

Just my imagination

Love TKO Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oooooh
Oooooh
Lookin' back over my years
I guess I've shed some tears.
Told myself time and again
this time I'm gonna win.
But another fight. Things ain't right.
I'm losing again.
It takes a fool to lose twice
and start all over again.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Let it go, baby.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO. Ohh, yeah.
I tried to take control of the love.
He took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Takin' the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
And I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
So I think I gotta
gotta let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Oh, yes it does, yes it does.
I think I gotta
gotta let it go
Mmmmmmm.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.
I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Taking the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
Then I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
I think I better
better let it go
I better let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Yeah, I better
better let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, Miss M.
Another love, love TKO.
Ooohhhh, boy you got me turned around and around and around.
Around and around.
Everybody's got to cry sometime.
That's what they say. I heard them say.
Everybody's gonna cry sometime.
Mama says that they did, that they did.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . .
Oooooh
Lookin' back over my years

let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.
I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.
Taking the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
Then I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.
I think I better
better let it go
I better let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Yeah, I better
better let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, Miss M.
Another love, love TKO.
Ooohhhh, boy you got me turned around and around and around.
Around and around.
Everybody's got to cry sometime.
That's what they say. I heard them say.
Everybody's gonna cry sometime.
Mama says that they did, that they did.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . .
Moses Lyrics – Bette Midler
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain.
I don't necessarily buy
any key to the future or hapiness
but I need a little place in the sun sometimes
or I think I'll die.
And everywhere is somewhere but nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
But I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with an empty apartment and a best friend who is queer. Heh.
Every time I see him he smiles
and tells me how well he's walking these miles.
But he never ever asks a single thing about me.
If I died he'd hear about it eventually.
Diamonds, roses, I need Moses
to cross this sea of lonliness,
part this red river of pain. Ohhh.
'Cause everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
And I'm a tragic figure in the corner over here
with my bills in the mailbox and some checks that won't clear this year.
Everywhere is somewhere and nowhere is near.
Everybody's got somebody with their wine and their beer.
So I'm just a tragic figure in the corner over here
who'll sleep it off 'til morning and still not know that we're,
we're all just diamonds and roses. I need Moses
to cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.
To cross this sea of loneliness, part this red river of pain.

Nobody Else But You Lyrics – Bette Midler
Who loves me even though I'm crazy
and nothing that I say is true?
Who won my heart and soul forever?
It's nobody else but,
nobody else but . . .
Each time I feel I'm out to pasture
who always makes me feel brand new?
I'm pledging my allegiance baby
to nobody else but,
nobody else but . . .
Look at me, laughing out loud,
trying to remember all the jokes that you taught me.
When you see the light in my eyes,
it's only a reflection of the joy that you brought me.
How did I get to be so happy?
I've wondered that my whole life through, yeah.
I thank my lucky stars for sending me
nobody else but, nobody else but,
nobody else but you.
La, la, la, la, you, yeah.

When you see the love in my eyes,
it's only a reflection of the joy that you brought me.
I always knew I had an angel,
a voice that told me what to do, yeah.
But now that angel's on my shoulder.
It's nobody else but, nobody else but,
nobody else but you.
La, la, la, la, you, yeah.

Color Of Roses Lyrics – Bette Midler
I held you close to me
once in a distant dream,
far from the shores of my fear.
I sailed on the ocean where
all I imagined could happen,
and now you are here.
It's so hard to touch
what is out of our hands,
to know and to trust
what the heart understands.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.
Life gives us magic and
life brings us tragedy.
Everyone suffers some loss.
Still we have faith in it,
childlike hope.
There's a reason that outweighs the cost.
And gravity throws
all these rules in our way.
And sometimes the sprit
refuses to play.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.
And oh, love,
turn me around in your arms.
And in this dream we share
let us not miss one kiss.
And add my regrets
to the tears in the rain
for that's what the color
of roses contain.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream,
ever dream what comes true.
once in a distant dream,
far from the shores of my fear.
I sailed on the ocean where
all I imagined could happen,
and now you are here.
It's so hard to touch
what is out of our hands,
to know and to trust
what the heart understands.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.
Life gives us magic and
life brings us tragedy.
Everyone suffers some loss.
Still we have faith in it,
childlike hope.
There's a reason that outweighs the cost.
And gravity throws
all these rules in our way.
And sometimes the sprit
refuses to play.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream what comes true.
And oh, love,
turn me around in your arms.
And in this dream we share
let us not miss one kiss.
And add my regrets
to the tears in the rain
for that's what the color
of roses contain.
Only the ones who believe
ever see what they dream,
ever dream,
ever dream what comes true.

When Your Life Was Low Lyrics – Bette Midler
Always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
When your life was low,
you had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
and everybody said that you were through.
I took you in, made you strong again
put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining.
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
I took you in. I made you strong again.
I put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
But always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
The world will change again.
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
When your life was low,
you had nowhere to go.
People turned their backs on you,
and everybody said that you were through.
I took you in, made you strong again
put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining.
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
I took you in. I made you strong again.
I put you back together.
Out of all the dreams you left along the way,
you left me shining
Now you're doing well
from stories I hear tell.
You own the world again.
Everyone's your friend.
Although I never hear from you,
still it's nice to know
you used to love me so,
you used to love me so,
when your life was low.
But always remember my friend,
the world will change again.
And you may have to come back
through everywhere you've been.
The world will change again.
Shining Star Lyrics – Bette Midler
Honey, you are my shining star.
Don't you go away.
I wanna be right here where you are
until my dying day. Yes I do.
