I gave my heart to you, the one that I trusted.
You brought it back to me all broken and busted
so I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
You took my heart because you thought you could use it.
Just like a little toy you battered and bruised it
so I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
Like a melodrama, in a simple manner,
love played the leading part.
We had planned a happy ending.
Now I'm left with a broken heart.
Ohhh, I'll throw away my pride and say we'll be friends, dear.
Teardrops I just can't hide 'cause this is the end, dear.
I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
Like a melodrama, in a simple manner,

I sold my heart to the junkman
and I'll never fall in love again.
No, I'll never fall in love again.
Boxing Lyrics – Bette Midler
Howard, the strangest things
have happened lately when I
take a good swing
and all my dreams
they pivot and slip.
I drop my fists
and they're back, laughing.
Howard, my intentions
become not to lose what I've won.
Ambition has given way
to desperation and I,
I've lost the fight from my eyes.
Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew
a couple of years I'd be through.
Has boxing been good to you?
Howard, now I confess
I'm scared and lonely and tired.
Everyone says I'm made of clay,
that I've had my day,
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bette-midler-lyrics/boxing-lyrics.html ]
that I'm not cut out for this.
I just know what to say.
And I say,
boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew
a couple of years I'd be through.
Has boxing been good to you?
Well, sometimes I punch myself
hard as I can.
Yelling, "nobody cares!"
hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am,
Howard.
Boxing's been good to me, Howard.
Now I'm told,
"You're growing old."
The whole time we knew
a couple of years I'd be through.
Has boxing been good,
has boxing been good,
has boxing been good?
have happened lately when I
take a good swing
and all my dreams
they pivot and slip.
I drop my fists
and they're back, laughing.
Howard, my intentions

One Monkey Don't Stop No Show Lyrics – Bette Midler
My baby jumped up this morning,
'n' sat on the side of the bed.
He said, "I'm leaving you, baby."
And this is just what I said.
I said, "I can't make you stay if you want to go,
but it's high time, baby, that you should know,
one monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
So, if you still wanna go, go ahead."
And I mean every word I said.
My baby thought I was jivin'
and he went right out the door.
He left me about three in the morning.
I got me a man at four.
Some women cry when their men bleed 'em
dry, long and slow,
but I found out somethin' a long time ago.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bette-midler-lyrics/one-monkey-don_t-stop-no-show-lyrics.html ]
So if he gets too big for his pants
you better spring that new one and give him a chance.
I used to be chicken hearted;
cry when he'd walk out the door,
'cause I was just young and stupid.
Ha! Ain't like that no more.
'Cause I had a hard way to go,
but I learned the score.
And I'm here to tell you,
and I should know,
one monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
Let him do anything he choose.
There's a million men who can fill his shoes.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
One monkey don't stop no show.
You can tell him I told you so.
"All right."
'n' sat on the side of the bed.
He said, "I'm leaving you, baby."
And this is just what I said.
I said, "I can't make you stay if you want to go,
but it's high time, baby, that you should know,

Big Socks Lyrics – Bette Midler
Mmmmmm, you talk about you and only you
and the things that you do for you.
You say you're not a lean cuisine.
So I wanna see whatcha got on the menu.
Now, if you think you're the man the only man
with an exterior you feel is superior,
just give Miss B a little peek
and see if you really can deliver.
Your tendencies are short, my expectations are long.
And as I see it now, there's not much to go on.
It seems you dug a hole that you can't crawl out.
Now I truly see what you're all about.
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear,
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair.
Don't brag about your body, baby,
and say that you're packin' a lot,
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks.
Let's just say that there's something lackin'.
A flea shouldn't have the nerve to be braggin'.
So pack up your little gift and get to steppin'.
Return it back and put it in the kiddie section.
Full figured in a place that can deliver?
Ha ha, not from what I've seen.
I can't trace what's below your waist.
There's too much space to be inside those jeans.
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear,
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair.
Don't brag about your body, baby,
and say that you're packin' a lot,
'cause all I see besides your big feet
is that you got big socks.
Bye bye, baby, bye bye.
It's time to wave the white flag
now that the kitten has been let out the bag.
Don't brag about the diamond rings
or the expensive clothes you wear,
'cause I could care less for what you possess
and your attitude needs repair.
Don't brag about your body, baby,
and say that you're packin' a lot,
'cause all I see besides your big feet

Don't brag about the diamond rings

That's how love moves Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oooooh. Oooh-hoooh.
Ooooo-hoooh.
It's such a mystery
how he found something in me
that I never knew was there.
He uncovered it so easily.
He turned me like a season
and I began to change.
He wrapped himself all around me,
now I'll never be the same.
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love moves.
Ohh, that's how love moves.
I've seen walls that could never be broken
come a-tumblin' down, oh yes I have.
I've heard the voice of love calling
without making a sound.
See, I was touched by an angel
the day he took my hand.
I know that he's the miracle
that makes me eveything I am.
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love moves.
Ohh, that's how love moves.
Woah, love.
Sometimes it's a whisper,
oh, sometimes it's a storm,
sometimes it reaches forever
with it's everlasting arms.
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you.
Sometimes it lifts you
high as Heaven.
It consumes you, yeah, that's a given.
Ohhhhhhh!
That's how love works.
That's how love moves.
Like a river, yeah, like a river
running through you, running through your heart and soul.
Sometimes it lifts you
as high as Heaven.
Heaven!
It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love works. That's how love works.
That's how love moves. That's how love moves.
Like a river running through you. Like a river running through your heart and soul.
Sometimes it lifts you

It consumes you, that's a given.
That's how love moves.
That's how love moves.

My One True Friend Lyrics – Bette Midler
And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things,
a sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing.
I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end,
you are my one true friend.
For all, all the times you closed your eyes,
allowing me to stumble or to be surprised,
by life, with all it's twists and turns.
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn.
And when I left, it's you who stayed.
You always knew that I'd come home again.
In the end,
you are my one true friend.
Though love may break, it never dies.
It changes shape, through changing eyes.
What I denied, I now can see.
You always were the light inside of me.
I know, I know, I know, I know it was you.
I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end, you are my one true friend.
My one true friend.
I always, always knew,
I always knew that it was you,
my one true friend.
How you made my life so different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things,
a sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing.
I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end,
you are my one true friend.
For all, all the times you closed your eyes,
allowing me to stumble or to be surprised,
by life, with all it's twists and turns.
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn.
And when I left, it's you who stayed.
You always knew that I'd come home again.
In the end,
you are my one true friend.
Though love may break, it never dies.
It changes shape, through changing eyes.
What I denied, I now can see.
You always were the light inside of me.
I know, I know, I know, I know it was you.
I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end, you are my one true friend.
My one true friend.
I always, always knew,
I always knew that it was you,
my one true friend.
Laughing Matters Lyrics – Bette Midler
Live at Five and CNN
keep us all abreast
of breaking stories that can tend
to make us anxious and depressed.
Problems with no answers
hang on like some chronic cough.
And every day some brand new issue
rears it's head to piss you off.
Bad guys win.
Optimism's wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicism's all the fad.
World events could make us mad
as hatters.
Almost every day
some underpinning slips away.
These aren't laughing matters.
Time bombs tick.
People keep on getting sick.
And a nickel's not worth a cent.
Wickedness and greed abound.
Just as peace is gaining ground
it shatters.
Hate is here to stay,
and justice goes to those who pay.
Friend, these aren't laughing matters.
The truth is scarier by far
than anything that Stephen King could write.
The stories in the paper are
the daily small decline and fall
spelled out in black and white.
Oh, what to do, what to do?
how to take a brighter view
when your noodle's totally fried.
Human spirits need to be
leavened by a little levity.
So take those blues
and bounce them off the wall.
Keep your humor please,
'cause don't you know it times like these that
laughing matters most of all.
keep us all abreast
of breaking stories that can tend
to make us anxious and depressed.
Problems with no answers
hang on like some chronic cough.
And every day some brand new issue
rears it's head to piss you off.
Bad guys win.
Optimism's wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicism's all the fad.
World events could make us mad

These aren't laughing matters.

Heaven Lyrics – Bette Midler
I think I'll go to Heaven.
There I will lay me down,
leave all the pain behind me;
bury it in the ground.
Maybe they'll talk about me.
I pray it won't be lies.
Tell them I went to Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
I think I'll go to Heaven.
I hear it's peaceful there.
They don't allow your troubles
'cause everyone's had their share.
When I can be someone who
never never needs a disguise,
then I will be in Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
People in Heaven never look back.
Higher and higher the past fades to black,
fades to black.
I think I'll go to Heaven,
sail on into the night,
watch as I set my soul free,
watch as my heart takes flight.
Maybe I am too simple,
maybe I am too wise.
Maybe I'll go to Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
Heaven is in your eyes.
Oooooooh, I'm in Heaven in your eyes.
There I will lay me down,
leave all the pain behind me;
bury it in the ground.
Maybe they'll talk about me.
I pray it won't be lies.
Tell them I went to Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
I think I'll go to Heaven.
I hear it's peaceful there.
They don't allow your troubles
'cause everyone's had their share.
When I can be someone who
never never needs a disguise,
then I will be in Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
People in Heaven never look back.
Higher and higher the past fades to black,
fades to black.
I think I'll go to Heaven,
sail on into the night,
watch as I set my soul free,
watch as my heart takes flight.
Maybe I am too simple,
maybe I am too wise.
Maybe I'll go to Heaven.
Heaven is in your eyes.
Heaven is in your eyes.
Oooooooh, I'm in Heaven in your eyes.
I Know This Town Lyrics – Bette Midler
I know these streets and these backyards,
this barn that's falling down.
We come to where they're building now
and ride our bikes around.
And you think I'm just a little kid,
some troubles on the way.
Well, I knew this place before you did
is all I've got to say.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
We come home through these fields at night
about a million times.
I'd walk the road with my eyes closed
and all the paths besdies.
And I know the boy who broke this fence,
and I know his brother, too.
And they'd never give me half a chance
if I let on to you.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
I know this town.
We dam the streams, we raid the shacks,
and hide in boxcars on the tracks.
We know these quarries in our sleep
and where they're cold and where they're deep.
I'll go down to the bowling alley
and buy smokes and Dentyne.
I find some loose change every day
under that Coke machine.
You check me out as you drive by
like there was some big deal.
Well I know so much you'll never find
from there behind the wheel.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
I know this town.
I know this town.
I know this town.
this barn that's falling down.
We come to where they're building now
and ride our bikes around.
And you think I'm just a little kid,
some troubles on the way.
Well, I knew this place before you did
is all I've got to say.
I'm only walking
through these streets and all around.
I'm only walking.
I know this town.
We come home through these fields at night
about a million times.
I'd walk the road with my eyes closed

In This Life Lyrics – Bette Midler
For all I've been blessed with in this life,
there was an emptiness in me.
I was imprisoned by the power of gold.
With one kind touch you set me free.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
For every mountain I have climbed,
every raging river crossed,
you were the treasure that I longed to find.
Without your love I would be lost.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
I know that I won't live forever,
but forever I'll be loving you.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
In this life I was loved by you.
there was an emptiness in me.
I was imprisoned by the power of gold.
With one kind touch you set me free.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
For every mountain I have climbed,
every raging river crossed,
you were the treasure that I longed to find.
Without your love I would be lost.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
I know that I won't live forever,
but forever I'll be loving you.
Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
In this life I was loved by you.
Bottomless Lyrics – Bette Midler
I took a dive into your eyes
and I was in a sea of deep blue green emotion.
Now in my dreams it often seems that you are moving me
like tides moving the ocean.
My heart hears you calling
and I feel that I'm falling
into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
And as we lie I feel that I am floating
in a stream of clear crystalline feeling.
I want to wade into your waves
and let them wash me clean.
To hold you is so healing.
My heart hears you calling
and I know that I'm falling
into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
My sorrows washed away like rain,
the lonely simple joys remain.
Holy bliss, bottomless love.
Into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Dream.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
Into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Dream.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
Dream. Woah-oh-oh. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Picture of a dreamy deep with you. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Yes, I've fallen, I've fallen, I've fallen in love with you.
Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Woah-oh-oh. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love . . .
and I was in a sea of deep blue green emotion.
Now in my dreams it often seems that you are moving me
like tides moving the ocean.
My heart hears you calling
and I feel that I'm falling
into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
And as we lie I feel that I am floating
in a stream of clear crystalline feeling.
I want to wade into your waves
and let them wash me clean.
To hold you is so healing.
My heart hears you calling
and I know that I'm falling
into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
My sorrows washed away like rain,
the lonely simple joys remain.
Holy bliss, bottomless love.
Into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Dream.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
Into a love that's deeper than blue,
a bottomless love.
Dream.
Into the dreamy deep with you.
Bottomless love.
Dream. Woah-oh-oh. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Picture of a dreamy deep with you. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Yes, I've fallen, I've fallen, I've fallen in love with you.
Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love.
Woah-oh-oh. Bottomless love.
Falling. Bottomless love . . .
To Comfort You Lyrics – Bette Midler
You've been down in the dumps
it seems like forever.
Now, what have they done to you?
Not a single thing's turned out
the way you imagined.
It all looks unreachable to you.
You don't know for the life of you
what is missing,
or why it always happens to you.
And you don't like yourself,
you feel nobody's listening.
You don't need another platitude.
For a moment you forget
and a smile comes to your face.
Aah, but it doesn't last too long.
It's like a string you got tied
around your finger
reminding you of
everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
And I'd love to be the reason
a smile comes to your face,
even if it doesn't last too long.
And I'd love to take that string
you've got tied around your finger
reminding you of everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
it seems like forever.
Now, what have they done to you?
Not a single thing's turned out
the way you imagined.
It all looks unreachable to you.
You don't know for the life of you
what is missing,
or why it always happens to you.
And you don't like yourself,
you feel nobody's listening.
You don't need another platitude.
For a moment you forget
and a smile comes to your face.
Aah, but it doesn't last too long.
It's like a string you got tied
around your finger
reminding you of
everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
And I'd love to be the reason
a smile comes to your face,
even if it doesn't last too long.
And I'd love to take that string
you've got tied around your finger
reminding you of everything that's wrong.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
I won't try to second guess you.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
To Deserve You Lyrics – Bette Midler
I see so many golden women;
when they walk their feet don't touch the ground.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
But me, I'm always out of rhythm.
My needs too demanding, too proud.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
The light of the dawn can be cruel.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.
I would die for you.
Could you ever love me that much?
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
Yes, you tell me this,
and I want to believe that it's true.
Aah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
I'm weak and I fight like a fool.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.
If I could be your angel
I'd trade in my arms for some wings
to keep you close to me.
And if I could trade my voice
for the silence I know that you need.
Aaaah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
So frightened of losing so soon.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I've caught our love in a grip,
just tell me and I'll shake it loose.
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, na na na na na.
Oh, ohhhhh.
How I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na na.
Whoa, ohhhhh.
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na . . .
when they walk their feet don't touch the ground.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
But me, I'm always out of rhythm.
My needs too demanding, too proud.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
The light of the dawn can be cruel.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.
I would die for you.
Could you ever love me that much?
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
Yes, you tell me this,
and I want to believe that it's true.
Aah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
I'm weak and I fight like a fool.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.
If I could be your angel
I'd trade in my arms for some wings
to keep you close to me.
And if I could trade my voice
for the silence I know that you need.
Aaaah, how I want, how I want to deserve you.
I didn't want you to see me like this.
So frightened of losing so soon.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I've caught our love in a grip,
just tell me and I'll shake it loose.
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, na na na na na.
Oh, ohhhhh.
How I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na na.
Whoa, ohhhhh.
How I want to deserve you.
Oh, I want to deserve you.
Na na na na na na . . .

Bed Of Roses Lyrics – Bette Midler
Long, long ago, where the tall grass grows
and the still air is sweet with summer flowers;
in the shade by the stream I would lie awake and dream,
and in dreaming I would while away the hours.
Long, long gone yesterday,
and the castle and the prince and the God to whom I prayed.
Well, I made, and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired of trying to be free.
Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Well, I wasted years,
all the useless, bitter tears.
If I'd known I'd have stopped it at the start.
I knew life was long,
and I knew life could go wrong,
but I never knew my life would break my heart.
Dreams die harder than pride.
I have learned my lesson well.
I will put them both aside.
'Cause I made and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired and I'm dying to be free.
Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Roses die, and all the fairy tales are lies,
and I guess that's just too bad for poor old me.
'Cause I made, and I'm gonna lie in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
and the still air is sweet with summer flowers;
in the shade by the stream I would lie awake and dream,
and in dreaming I would while away the hours.
Long, long gone yesterday,
and the castle and the prince and the God to whom I prayed.
Well, I made, and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired of trying to be free.
Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Well, I wasted years,
all the useless, bitter tears.
If I'd known I'd have stopped it at the start.
I knew life was long,
and I knew life could go wrong,
but I never knew my life would break my heart.
Dreams die harder than pride.
I have learned my lesson well.
I will put them both aside.
'Cause I made and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired and I'm dying to be free.
Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Roses die, and all the fairy tales are lies,
and I guess that's just too bad for poor old me.
'Cause I made, and I'm gonna lie in my bed of roses.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
The Perfect Kiss Lyrics – Bette Midler
Across the bridge of mercy bound,
rooms so full of Say You Will
and trains that rock like cradles in the air.
I'll stay here and hold your hand.
Love likes fools you understand.
It's part of what this life has brought;
sirens and forget-me-nots.
Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
I will try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
All the signs that pointed home
turned their backs the more I roamed
and walked where love would never call my name.
So let me take you to the train
and hold you softer than the rain.
We're all alone, two alley cats
curled up like a scarf and hat.
Who knows how it came to this.
I don't know you and you don't know me.
But sometimes strangers cross that great abyss.
That's when angels will dream the perfect kiss.
Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
But I must try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
rooms so full of Say You Will
and trains that rock like cradles in the air.
I'll stay here and hold your hand.
Love likes fools you understand.
It's part of what this life has brought;
sirens and forget-me-nots.
Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
I will try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
All the signs that pointed home
turned their backs the more I roamed
and walked where love would never call my name.
So let me take you to the train
and hold you softer than the rain.
We're all alone, two alley cats
curled up like a scarf and hat.
Who knows how it came to this.
I don't know you and you don't know me.
But sometimes strangers cross that great abyss.
That's when angels will dream the perfect kiss.
Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
But I must try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
it's too late Lyrics – Bette Midler
If I close my eyes,
take my time,
I can almost feel your lips against mine.
If I close my eyes,
drift away,
I can almost see us back there smiling.
But it's too late, it's too late.
Baby, I can't reach you.
It's too late, too late.
We've drifted out too far.
I don't know where love goes
or how we might have saved it,
I only know it's gone.
It's time that we moved on.
It's too late.
No use going on.
No more crying.
Stand outside ourselves and watch love dying.
'Cause it's too late, it's too late.
Baby, I can't hold you.
It's too late, too late.
Now time will take it's toll.
I don't know where love goes
or how we might have saved it.
I only know it's gone.
It's time that we moved on.
It's too late.
In my dreams we turn it back around
and the love we lost is found,
and I hand it all to you.
But I know I'm only dreamin'.
It's too late. Ahhhhh, too late.
Should I stay, should I wait,
should I stand here by your door?
I don't know what for.
You don't live here anymore.
And it's too late.
My little baby.
Yeah-ahhh, it's too late.
It's too late.
take my time,
I can almost feel your lips against mine.
If I close my eyes,
drift away,
I can almost see us back there smiling.
But it's too late, it's too late.
Baby, I can't reach you.
It's too late, too late.
We've drifted out too far.
I don't know where love goes
or how we might have saved it,
I only know it's gone.
It's time that we moved on.
It's too late.
No use going on.
No more crying.
Stand outside ourselves and watch love dying.
'Cause it's too late, it's too late.
Baby, I can't hold you.
It's too late, too late.
Now time will take it's toll.
I don't know where love goes
or how we might have saved it.
I only know it's gone.
It's time that we moved on.
It's too late.
In my dreams we turn it back around
and the love we lost is found,
and I hand it all to you.
But I know I'm only dreamin'.
It's too late. Ahhhhh, too late.
Should I stay, should I wait,
should I stand here by your door?
I don't know what for.
You don't live here anymore.
And it's too late.
My little baby.
Yeah-ahhh, it's too late.
It's too late.
As Dreams Go By Lyrics – Bette Midler
When the white bird flies
from your heart to mine,
I surrender every part of me
to the tenderness.
Could it be the wine?
In your eyes stars shine,
and I'm feeling like a child again.
Oh, it's taken me a little time
to find words to say
Stay.
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
If the first glow fades
from the love we've made,
I will hold you closer in the night
under heart and key.
When there are hills to climb,
and your world won't rhyme,
I will fight until I get it right;
'Cause your part of me,
the heart of me,
if only you'll stay.
Stay.
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
The trees and the towers are burning.
Fear walks on the sea.
My soul in the wasteland is yearning.
What does tomorrow hold for me?
Oh, no.
What can I say?
Just that I need you.
With you here by my side, we can turn even the desert evergreen
as dreams go by.
Oh, won't you stay?
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
Stay.
Make this forever.
Lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
from your heart to mine,
I surrender every part of me
to the tenderness.
Could it be the wine?
In your eyes stars shine,
and I'm feeling like a child again.
Oh, it's taken me a little time
to find words to say
Stay.
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
If the first glow fades
from the love we've made,
I will hold you closer in the night
under heart and key.
When there are hills to climb,
and your world won't rhyme,
I will fight until I get it right;
'Cause your part of me,
the heart of me,
if only you'll stay.
Stay.
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
The trees and the towers are burning.
Fear walks on the sea.
My soul in the wasteland is yearning.
What does tomorrow hold for me?
Oh, no.
What can I say?
Just that I need you.
With you here by my side, we can turn even the desert evergreen
as dreams go by.
Oh, won't you stay?
Make this forever,
and lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
Stay.
Make this forever.
Lay love in my life.
Come what may,
cherish each moment of love
as dreams go by.
I Believe In You Lyrics – Bette Midler
I don't believe in superstars,
in fancy food or foreign cars;
that Hagen Dazs and motherhood
have done my body any good;
that Elvis is alive and well;
that courtesy has gone to hell;
that kindness is in short supply;
that little kids should have to die.
But I believe in love.
I believe in dreamers.
I believe in miracles
and I believe in you.
Well, I don't believe virginity
is as common as it used to be;
that left is wrong and right is right;
that black is black and white is white;
that the Beatles could be history,
the sixties just a memory;
that war will never go away;
that Johnny Carson's had his day.
But I believe in love.
I believe in angels.
I believe in Mom and Dad
and I believe in you.
I know with almost certainty
what's going on with you and me
is a good thing.
I know it's true.
I believe in you.
Now, I don't believe that heaven waits
for only those who congregate.
I like to think that God is love.
He's down below, He's up above,
and He's watching people everywhere.
He knows who does and doesn't care.
And I'm an ordinary girl
trying to make my way in this old world.
And I believe in love.
Yes, I believe in music.
I believe in promises
and I believe in you.
Well, I know with almost certainty
what's going on with you and me
is a good thing, a good thing.
And I know it's true.
I believe in you.
You know, darlin', that I believe in love.
Yes, I believe in dreamers.
I believe in miracles
and I believe in you.
Woah-ho-ho-oh, baby, I believe.
Yes, I believe.
I believe in promises
and I believe in you.
Woah, come on, baby, say you believe in love.
Say you believe in dreamin'.
Believe in blue, blue skies,
'cause I believe in you . . .
in fancy food or foreign cars;
that Hagen Dazs and motherhood
have done my body any good;
that Elvis is alive and well;
that courtesy has gone to hell;
that kindness is in short supply;
that little kids should have to die.
But I believe in love.
I believe in dreamers.
I believe in miracles
and I believe in you.
Well, I don't believe virginity
is as common as it used to be;
that left is wrong and right is right;
that black is black and white is white;
that the Beatles could be history,
the sixties just a memory;
that war will never go away;

But I believe in love.
I believe in angels.
I believe in Mom and Dad

Woah-ho-ho-oh, baby, I believe.
Yes, I believe.
I believe in promises
and I believe in you.
Woah, come on, baby, say you believe in love.
Say you believe in dreamin'.
Believe in blue, blue skies,
'cause I believe in you . . .
Up! Up! Up! Lyrics – Bette Midler
My grandpa died from asbestos.
My daddy's name was Estes.
And I don't know if that messed us up,
or what it did.
My brother was-a workin' as an boiler.
He was glad he wasn't workin' as an oiler.
One day my sister went and lit up a match
and up is where they went.
They went up! up! up!
like a guy on a rocket.
Up! up! up!
Keep your luck, don't hock it.
Up! up! up!
Put your finger in a socket.
Don't you know that's up, Jack?
Aaah, now that leaves me with my cousins.
You know I got 'em by the dozens.
Well, they brought home a bomb and they didn't act calm,
'cause up is where they went.
Ah, but now everything is satisfactory.
I'm on the swing shift at the big factory.
Oooh, I keep cuttin', I just keep struttin'
'cause up is where I'm goin'.
I'm goin' up! up! up!
Push the elevator button.
Up! up! up!
Like superman's cousin.
Up! up! up!
Ooh, fella, now I'm buzzin'.
Don't you know that's up, Chuck?
All right, Chuck.
While gossiping over the back fence,
my aunt was talking in her accents.
The fickle finger of fate paced a well placed goose,
and up is where she went.
While visiting a funeral parlor,
Uncle Louie, he let out a holler.
A stiff went and winked at him
and guess where he went?
He went up! up!
Make the north pole my landin'.
Up! up!
Talk frivolous abandon.
Up! up!
Boom! From sitting to standing.
Don't you know that's up?
Goin' up and up and up
and up and up and up and up!
Doodlie-do-da do!
My daddy's name was Estes.
And I don't know if that messed us up,
or what it did.
My brother was-a workin' as an boiler.
He was glad he wasn't workin' as an oiler.
One day my sister went and lit up a match
and up is where they went.
They went up! up! up!
like a guy on a rocket.
Up! up! up!
Keep your luck, don't hock it.
Up! up! up!
Put your finger in a socket.
Don't you know that's up, Jack?
Aaah, now that leaves me with my cousins.
You know I got 'em by the dozens.
Well, they brought home a bomb and they didn't act calm,
'cause up is where they went.
Ah, but now everything is satisfactory.
I'm on the swing shift at the big factory.
Oooh, I keep cuttin', I just keep struttin'
'cause up is where I'm goin'.
I'm goin' up! up! up!
Push the elevator button.
Up! up! up!
Like superman's cousin.
Up! up! up!
Ooh, fella, now I'm buzzin'.
Don't you know that's up, Chuck?
All right, Chuck.
While gossiping over the back fence,
my aunt was talking in her accents.
The fickle finger of fate paced a well placed goose,
and up is where she went.
While visiting a funeral parlor,
Uncle Louie, he let out a holler.
A stiff went and winked at him
and guess where he went?
He went up! up!
Make the north pole my landin'.
Up! up!
Talk frivolous abandon.
Up! up!
Boom! From sitting to standing.
Don't you know that's up?
Goin' up and up and up
and up and up and up and up!
Doodlie-do-da do!
Some People Lyrics – Bette Midler
Some people can get a thrill
knitting sweaters and setting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.
Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.
But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!
I had a dream,
a wonderful dream, papa,
all about June in the Orpheum circuit.
Gimme a chance and I know I can work it.
I had a dream.
Just as real as can be, papa.
There I was in Mr. Orpheum's office
and he was saying to me, "Rose,
get yourself some new orchestrations,
new routines and red velvet curtains.
Get a feathered hat for the baby;
photographs in front of the theatre.
Get an agent and in jig time
you'll be being booked in the big time."
Oh, what a dream.
A wonderful dream, papa.
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, papa.
That's what he said, papa.
Only eighty-eight bucks.
"You ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents from me, Rose."
"Well, I'll get it someplace else! But I'll get it! And get my kids out!"
Goodbye to blueberry pie.
Good ridance to all the socials I had to go to,
all the lodges I had to play,
all the shriners I said hello to.
Hey, L.A., I'm comin' your way!
Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That's living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.
Well, they can stay and rot!
But not Rose!
knitting sweaters and setting still.
That's okay for some people
who don't know they're alive.
Some people can thrive and bloom
living life in the living room.
That's perfect for some people
of one hundred and five.
But I at least gotta try
when I think of all the sights that I gotta see
and all the places I gotta play,
all the things that I gotta be at.
Come on, papa, what do you say?
Some people can be content
playing bingo and paying rent.
That's peachy for some people,
for some hum-drum people to be,
but some people ain't me!

Small World Lyrics – Bette Midler (feat. Peter Reigert)
[Rose:] Funny, you're a stranger who's come here,
come from another town.
Funny, I'm a stranger myself here.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, you're a man who goes traveling
rather than settling down.
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go traveling.
Small world, isn't it?
We have so much in common,
it's a phenomenon.
We could pool our resources
by joining forces from now on.
Lucky, you're a man who likes children.
That's an important sign.
Lucky, I'm a woman with children.
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it small and funny and fine?
[Herbie:] We have so much in common,
it's a phenomenon.
We could pool our resources
by joining forces from now on.
[R:] Lucky, you're a man who likes children.

Mr. Goldstone Lyrics – Bette Midler
[Rose:] Have an eggroll, Mr. Goldstone.
Have a napkin, have a chopstick, have a chair.
Have a spare rib, Mr. Goldstone.
Any spare that I can spare I'll be glad to share!
Have a dish, have a fork, have a fish, have a pork.
Put your feet up. Feel at home.
Have a smoke, have a Coke.
Would you like to hear a joke?
I'll have June recite a poem!
Have a leechie, Mr. Goldstone.
Tell me any little thing that I can do.
Ginger peachy, Mr. Goldstone.
Have a kumquat, have two!
Everybody give a cheer.
Santa Claus is sitting here.
Mr. Goldstone I love you!
Have a Goldstone, Mr. Eggroll.
Tell me any little thing that I can do.
Have some fried rice, Mr. Soy Sauce.
Have a cookie, have a few!
What's the matter, Mr. G?
Have another pot of tea.
Mr. Goldstone I love you!
[Herbie:] There are good stones and bad stones
and curbstones and gladstones
and touchstones and such stones as them.
[Rose:] There are big stones and small stones
and grind stones and gall stones,
[All:] but Goldstone is a gem!
There are milestones, there are mill stones.
There's a cherry, there's a yellow, there's a blue.
But we don't want any old stone,
only Goldstone will do!
Moon stones, sun stones.
We all scream for one stone.
Mr. Goldstone we love you!
Goldstone!
Have a napkin, have a chopstick, have a chair.
Have a spare rib, Mr. Goldstone.
Any spare that I can spare I'll be glad to share!
Have a dish, have a fork, have a fish, have a pork.
Put your feet up. Feel at home.
Have a smoke, have a Coke.
Would you like to hear a joke?
I'll have June recite a poem!
Have a leechie, Mr. Goldstone.

You'll Never Get Away From Me Lyrics – Bette Midler (feat. Peter Reigert)
[Rose:] You'll never get away from me.
You can climb the tallest tree.
I'll be there somehow.
True, you could say, "Hey, here's your hat."
But a little thing like that
couldn't stop me now.
I couldn't get away from you,
even if you told me to,
so go on and try.
Just try and you're gonna see
how you're gonna not at all
get away from me.
[Herbie:] Rose, I love you, but don't count your chickens.
[R:] Come dance with me.
[H:] I warn you that I'm no Boy Scout.
[R:] Relax awhile, come dance with me.
[H:] So don't think that I'm easy pickin'.
[R:] The music's so nice.
[H:] Rose, 'cause I just may some day pick up and pack out.
[R:] Oh, no you won't. No, not a chance.
No arguments, shut up and dance.
[R:] You'll never get away from me.
You can climb the tallest tree.
I'll be there somehow.
True, you could say, "Hey, here's your hat."
[R&H:] But a little

Everything's Coming Up Roses Lyrics – Bette Midler
I had a dream, a dream about you, baby.
It's gonna come true, baby.
They think that we're through, but baby,
You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks! Clear the tracks!
You've got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss. Take a bow.
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Now's your inning. Stand the world on it's ear!
Set it spinning! That'll be just the beginning!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
You'll be swell. You'll be great.
I can tell. Just you wait.
That lucky star I talk about is due!
Honey, everything's coming up roses for me and for you!
You can do it, all you need is a hand.
We can do it, Mama is gonna see to it!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
We got nothing to hit but the heights!
I can tell, wait and see.
There's the bell! Follow me!
And nothing's gonna stop us 'til we're through!
Honey, everything's coming up roses and daffodils!
Everything's coming up sunshine and Santa Claus!
Everything's gonna be bright lights and lollipops!
Everything's coming up roses for me and for you!
It's gonna come true, baby.
They think that we're through, but baby,
You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks! Clear the tracks!
You've got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss. Take a bow.
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Now's your inning. Stand the world on it's ear!
Set it spinning! That'll be just the beginning!

Together, Wherever We Go Lyrics – Bette Midler (feat. Peter Reigert and Cynthia Gibb)
[Rose:] Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
We may not go far, but sure as a star,
wherever we are, it's together.
Wherever I go I know he goes.
Wherever I go I know she goes.
No fits, no fights, no feuds
and no egos, Amigos, together!
Through thick and through thin,
all out or all in.
And whether it's win, place or show.
With you for me and me for you,
we'll muddle through whatever we do.
Together, wherever we go.
[Rose & Herbie:] Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
[R:] Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep,
[H:] We'll always sleep cheaper together.
[R:] Whatever the boat I row, you row.
[H:] A duo
[R:] Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe.
[Louise:] A trio.
[R:] And any I. O. U., I owe you-oh's?
[H:] Who, me-oh? No, you-oh.
[L:] No, we-oh.
[All:] Together!
We all take the bow
[R:] Including the cow,
All:] though business is lousy and slow.
[R:] With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve,
[H&L:] Now all we need is someone with nerve.
[R:] Together
[H&L:] Together
[R:] Wherever
[H&L:] Wherever
[R:] Together, wherever,
[All:] Together, wherever we go.

A perfect team.
[R:] No, this way, Louise!

Billy-A-Dick Lyrics – Bette Midler
Every night while I'm undressin',
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
from a set of drums upstairs.
Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. We no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
I can hear a tenor drum say:
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid
gonna choo-choo down the track?
Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be,
and my rim has even started to rust.
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks,
they're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
gonna launch that last attack?
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby
and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
gonna launch that last attack?
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby
and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back, Mom?
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
from a set of drums upstairs.
Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. We no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
I can hear a tenor drum say:
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid

Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be,

Stuff Like That There Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Here she is, direct from the convent, Miss Dixie Leonard."
I was alone on a shelf
in a world by myself.
Oh, where could my Prince Charming be?
But a man came along,
made my life like a song,
and taught me these words of ecstasy,
tenderly.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
and some happy honeymoonin'
and some stuff like that there.
I used to think that love
was just a lot o' rubbish;
a mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage.
But now my attitude
is wholly lovey dovish,
and baby, you, you've done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff,
I want some stuff like that there.
I used to think romance was bunk,
a double mickey for the ickey.
But all at once my heart was sunk,
and baby, you, you done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin',
muggin', teasin' and some stuff,
stuff like that there!
Oooooooooh!
I was alone on a shelf
in a world by myself.
Oh, where could my Prince Charming be?
But a man came along,
made my life like a song,
and taught me these words of ecstasy,
tenderly.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
and some happy honeymoonin'
and some stuff like that there.
I used to think that love
was just a lot o' rubbish;
a mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage.
But now my attitude
is wholly lovey dovish,
and baby, you, you've done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
and some muggin' and some teasin'
and some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff,
I want some stuff like that there.
I used to think romance was bunk,
a double mickey for the ickey.
But all at once my heart was sunk,
and baby, you, you done it!
I want some kissin' and some hopin'
and some missin' and some mopin'
and some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
and some weepin' and some pacin'
and some stuff like that there.
And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin',
muggin', teasin' and some stuff,
stuff like that there!
Oooooooooh!
P.S. I Love You Lyrics – Bette Midler
Dear, I thought I'd drop a line.
The weather's cool. The folks are fine.
I'm in bed each night at nine.
P.S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain,
but all in all I can't complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able.
They came around to call.
I burned a hole in the dining room table.
And let me see, I guess that's all.
Nothin' else for me to say,
and so I'll close. Oh, by the way,
everybody's thinkin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes.
I put a sign up. Think
now I got to buy us a new set of dishes,
or wash the ones that have piled in the sink.
Nothing else to tell you, dear.
Except, each day feels like a year.
Every night I'm dreamin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I love you.
The weather's cool. The folks are fine.
I'm in bed each night at nine.
P.S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain,
but all in all I can't complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able.
They came around to call.
I burned a hole in the dining room table.
And let me see, I guess that's all.
Nothin' else for me to say,
and so I'll close. Oh, by the way,
everybody's thinkin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes.
I put a sign up. Think
now I got to buy us a new set of dishes,
or wash the ones that have piled in the sink.
Nothing else to tell you, dear.
Except, each day feels like a year.
Every night I'm dreamin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I love you.

[J:] I remember you.
[B:] I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
[J:] You're the one who made my dreams come true
[B:] You're usually dead,
[J:] a few
[B:] without a head,
[J:] kisses ago.
[B:] and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
[J:] I remember, too,
[B:] Oh, what a dream!
[J:] a distant bell,
[B:] It comes at night and taunts me,
[J:] and stars that fell
[B:] and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
[J:] like rain out of the blue.
[B:] I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
[J:] When my life is through,
[B:] I'll jump for joy.
[J:] and the angels ask me to recall
[B:] and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
[J:] the thrill of it all,
[B:] Who's the biggest schlemeil?
[Both:] Then I will tell them I remember . . .
[J:] "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."
[B:] "Yeah, I know, Eddie."
[J:] "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"
[B:] "Uh, penicillin?"
[J:] "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"
[B:] "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"
[J:] "Children?"
[B:] "No, silly! Grown men!
Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"

Dreamland Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Angels on my left and right to keep me safe all through the night."
There's a place way up high,
starry bright there, through the night there.
Close your eyes. Let your wishes fly.
You'll be in Dreamland by and by.
Dimpled and drowsy, off you go,
over the treetops, sliding down a rainbow.
Sleepyhead, curl up in your bed.
And 'til the sun says, "Rise and shine,"
sleep warm in Dreamland, baby mine.
There's a place worlds away,
time has wings there, green with springs there.
Smiles and songs bloom on every tree.
Only in Dreamland, just wait and see.
Deep down inside us, a child's still there,
wishing for Dreamland, knowing that it's somewhere.
Though it may seem so far away,
if you believe that dreams come true,
you'll find a Dreamland waiting for you.
Mmmmmm.
"Go to sleep now, dear."
Angels on my left and right to keep me safe all through the night."
There's a place way up high,
starry bright there, through the night there.
Close your eyes. Let your wishes fly.
You'll be in Dreamland by and by.
Dimpled and drowsy, off you go,
over the treetops, sliding down a rainbow.
Sleepyhead, curl up in your bed.
And 'til the sun says, "Rise and shine,"
sleep warm in Dreamland, baby mine.
There's a place worlds away,
time has wings there, green with springs there.
Smiles and songs bloom on every tree.
Only in Dreamland, just wait and see.
Deep down inside us, a child's still there,
wishing for Dreamland, knowing that it's somewhere.
Though it may seem so far away,
if you believe that dreams come true,
you'll find a Dreamland waiting for you.
Mmmmmm.
"Go to sleep now, dear."
For All We Know Lyrics – Bette Midler
Sweetheart, the night is growing old.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A kiss that is never tasted,
forever and ever is wasted.
For all we know we may never meet again.
Before you go, make this moment sweet again.
We won't say good night until the last minute.
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow's made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and we go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow was made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A kiss that is never tasted,
forever and ever is wasted.
For all we know we may never meet again.
Before you go, make this moment sweet again.
We won't say good night until the last minute.
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow's made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and we go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. Tomorrow was made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.
Come Rain Or Come Shine Lyrics – Bette Midler
[Eddie:] "Hey, Sarge . . .
Sing him a song, honey. He's earned it! Ha ha!"
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river,
come rain or come shine.
And I guess when you met me
it was just one of those things.
but don't ever bet me,
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me, let me.
You're always gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
and won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Rain or shine.
Sing him a song, honey. He's earned it! Ha ha!"
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river,
come rain or come shine.
And I guess when you met me
it was just one of those things.
but don't ever bet me,
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me, let me.
You're always gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
and won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Rain or shine.
In My Life Lyrics – Bette Midler
"It's Christmas time. Gonna sing a little song for you."
There are places I remember
all my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.
All these places have their moments
with lovers and friends I still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I love them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life I loved you more.
I love you more.
I love you more.
There are places I remember
all my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.
All these places have their moments
with lovers and friends I still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I love them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them.
In my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never ever lose affection
for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life I loved you more.
I love you more.
I love you more.
I Remember You Lyrics – Bette Midler
I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
a few kisses ago.
I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"
I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I shall tell them I remember you.
Was it in Tahiti? Woah, woah, woah, woah.
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, say, an hour or so,
I recall that I saw your smile.
And I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I will tell them I remember,
tell them I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
a few kisses ago.
I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"
I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I shall tell them I remember you.
Was it in Tahiti? Woah, woah, woah, woah.
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, say, an hour or so,
I recall that I saw your smile.
And I remember, too, a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I will tell them I remember,
tell them I remember you.
Every Road Leads Back To You Lyrics – Bette Midler
Old friend, here we are,
after all the years and tears
and all that we've been through.
It feels so good to see you.
Lookin' back in time,
there've been other friends and other lovers,
but no other one like you.
All my life, no one ever has known me better.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohhh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
Old friend, there were times
I didn't want to see your face
or hear your name again.
Now those times are far behind me.
It's so good to see your smile.
I'd forgotten how nobody else
could make me smile the way you do.
All this time, you're the one I still want beside me.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
Every road just seems to lead me back to you.
after all the years and tears
and all that we've been through.
It feels so good to see you.
Lookin' back in time,
there've been other friends and other lovers,
but no other one like you.
All my life, no one ever has known me better.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohhh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
Old friend, there were times
I didn't want to see your face
or hear your name again.
Now those times are far behind me.
It's so good to see your smile.
I'd forgotten how nobody else

All this time, you're the one I still want beside me.
I must have traveled down a thousand roads.

One More Round Lyrics – Bette Midler

Let's go, let's go, let's really go!

strength that living can bring.
So strong, so long,
songs the girls sing.

Some People's Lives Lyrics – Bette Midler
Some people's lives run down like clocks.
One day they stop, and that's all they've got.
Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes
no one can use. Well, It's sad but it's true.
Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?
Some people's lives fade like their dreams,
too tired to rise, too tired to sleep.
Some people laugh when they need to cry,
and they never know why.
Didn't anybody tell them
that's not how it used to be?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?
Some people ask if the tears have to fall.
Then why take your chances? Why bother at all?
And some people's lives are as cold as their lips.
They just need to be kissed.
Doesn't anybody tell them?
Doesn't anybody see?
Doesn't anybody love them
like you love me?
'Cause that's all they need.
One day they stop, and that's all they've got.
Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes
no one can use. Well, It's sad but it's true.
Didn't anybody tell them?
Didn't anybody see?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?
Some people's lives fade like their dreams,
too tired to rise, too tired to sleep.
Some people laugh when they need to cry,
and they never know why.
Didn't anybody tell them
that's not how it used to be?
Didn't anybody love them
like you love me?
Some people ask if the tears have to fall.
Then why take your chances? Why bother at all?
And some people's lives are as cold as their lips.
They just need to be kissed.
Doesn't anybody tell them?
Doesn't anybody see?
Doesn't anybody love them
like you love me?
'Cause that's all they need.
Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics – Bette Midler
"Oh, hi! A-heh heh! Is Miss Otis in?"
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm.
And she's sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down at lover's lane
she strayed, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found
that her dream of love was gone, madam,
she ran to the man
who had lead her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown
she drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her
and dragged her from the jail, madam,
they strung her up
on the willow across the way.
And the moment before she died
she lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm.
And she's sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down at lover's lane
she strayed, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found
that her dream of love was gone, madam,
she ran to the man
who had lead her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown
she drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her
and dragged her from the jail, madam,
they strung her up
on the willow across the way.
And the moment before she died
she lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most Lyrics – Bette Midler
Once I was a sentimental thing;
threw my heart away each spring.
Now a spring romance
hasn't got a chance.
Promised my first dance to winter.
All I've got to show's a splinter
for my little fling.
Spring this year has got me feeling
like a horse that never left the post.
I lie in my room
staring up at the ceiling.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers,
and to them I'd like to drink a toast.
But I walk in the park
just to kill the lonely hours.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
All afternoon the birds twitter-twitt.
I know the tune. This is love, this is it.
Heard it before
and don't I know the score.
And I've decided that spring is a bore.
Love seems sure around the new year.
Now it's April. Love is just a ghost.
Spring arrived on time,
only what became of you, dear?
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Love came my way. I thought it would last.
We had our day, now it's all in the past.
Spring came along, a season of song,
full of sweet promise
but something went wrong.
Doctors once prescribed a tonic.
Sulfur and molasses was the dose.
Didn't help one bit.
My condition must be chronic.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
All alone, the party is over.
Old man winter was a gracious host.
But when you keep praying
for snow to hide the clover,
spring can really hang you up the most.
threw my heart away each spring.
Now a spring romance
hasn't got a chance.
Promised my first dance to winter.
All I've got to show's a splinter
for my little fling.
Spring this year has got me feeling
like a horse that never left the post.
I lie in my room
staring up at the ceiling.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers,
and to them I'd like to drink a toast.
But I walk in the park
just to kill the lonely hours.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
All afternoon the birds twitter-twitt.
I know the tune. This is love, this is it.
Heard it before
and don't I know the score.
And I've decided that spring is a bore.
Love seems sure around the new year.
Now it's April. Love is just a ghost.
Spring arrived on time,
only what became of you, dear?
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Spring can really hang you up the most.
Love came my way. I thought it would last.
We had our day, now it's all in the past.
Spring came along, a season of song,
full of sweet promise
but something went wrong.

All alone, the party is over.
Old man winter was a gracious host.
But when you keep praying

spring can really hang you up the most.
Night And Day Lyrics – Bette Midler
Ohhhhhhh.
Maybe you and I see life with two different visions,
and neither one of us is wrong or right.
And maybe we're too serious and don't wanna listen.
I just wanna make you laugh tonight.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night,
and we go together just like black and white.
Seems you're always out one door when I'm in the other.
It's so hard to find some quiet time.
(So hard to find the time)
Wish that we could spend our lives alone with each other,
and never think about the world outside.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are oh, so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night.
Still we know it's gonna be all right.
And if we never really get the picture right,
how many of us ever really win the fight?
I never want to lose your love,
or let the distance get the best of us,
'cause time is moving fast enough!
Maybe we don't always share a common opinion.
It's true that you and I don't think alike.
But when I look into your eyes and all is forgiven,
(all is forgiven)
all I wanna do is hold you tight.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night.
Still we know it's gonna be all right.
We're like night and day, day and night.
We go together just like black and white.
We're like, we're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day,
day and night, night and day.
We're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day.
Like black and white.
Maybe you and I see life with two different visions,
and neither one of us is wrong or right.
And maybe we're too serious and don't wanna listen.
I just wanna make you laugh tonight.
We're like day and night, night and day.
We are both so different in so many ways.
We're like night and day, day and night,
and we go together just like black and white.
Seems you're always out one door when I'm in the other.
It's so hard to find some quiet time.

We're like, we're like, we're like
day and night, night and day.
Like black and white.
The Girl Is On To You Lyrics – Bette Midler
I'll bet you think you can just use her the way
you used to do. I've got news for you.
Your fuse is out. The girl is on to you.
I'll bet you think you can abuse her and say
you love her too. I remember pain
you put her through.
But the girl is on to you.
She's grown much wiser than you realize.
She will surprise you.
No more paying for your lies.
And I'll bet you think you can confuse her. But, hey,
the loser is you. She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise.
The girl is on to you.
She's grown much wiser than you realize.
She will surprise you.
No more paying for your lies.
Oh, and I'll bet you think
you can confuse her, but, hey,
the loser is you. She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise. The girl is on to you.
She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise.
The girl is on to you.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
Oooh. The girl is on to you.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone. Oooh.
I'll bet you think
she'll come running back to you,
just like she used to do.
But the girl is awful strong.
That's why the girl is gone, gone, gone, gone,
gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
you used to do. I've got news for you.
Your fuse is out. The girl is on to you.
I'll bet you think you can abuse her and say
you love her too. I remember pain
you put her through.
But the girl is on to you.
She's grown much wiser than you realize.
She will surprise you.
No more paying for your lies.

You'll soon surmise. The girl is on to you.
She sees through your eyes.
You'll soon surmise.
The girl is on to you.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
Oooh. The girl is on to you.
She's on, she's on, she's on.
Now she's gone, she's gone, she's gone. Oooh.
I'll bet you think
she'll come running back to you,
just like she used to do.
But the girl is awful strong.
That's why the girl is gone, gone, gone, gone,
gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
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
Moonlight Dancing Lyrics – Bette Midler
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'
underneath the starry sky?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'?
Just the moon and you and I.
Mmm, just the moon and you and I.
Moonlight dancin', mmm, moonlight dancin'.
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of late night romance
underneath the starry sky?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of late night romance?
Just the moon and you and I.
Mmm, just the moon and you and I.
Moonlight dancin', mmm, moonlight dancin'.
Ohh, nobody's gonna be there.
Ohh, so don't you wanna go where
we could dance across the sky,
leave the world behind us?
Nothin' that we couldn't do.
Yeah, we could dance across the sky,
leave the world behind us.
Just the moon and me and you.
Mmm, just the moon and me and you.
We could hide inside the rhythm
'til the morning finds us.
Share a little ecstasy.
Yeah, we could hide inside the rhythm
'til the morning finds us.
If you come away with me
I'll show you how it feels to be
moonlight dancin'. Mmm, moonlight dancin'.
Oh, we gonna sail on the wind.
Oh, so don't you wanna begin?
Moonlight dancing, mmm, moonlight dancing.
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit?
How 'bout a little bit, a little bit of moonlight dancin'?
Just the moon and you and I.
Moonlight dancin, mmm, moonlight dancing.

He Was Too Good To Me / Since You Stayed Here Lyrics – Bette Midler
He was too good to me.
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me.
Everything seems all wrong now.
He would have brought me the sun.
Making me smile, that was his fun.
When I was mean to him
he'd never say, "Go away, now."
I was a queen to him.
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue.
He was too good to be true.
You'd never recognize the room.
The pictures all have different frames now.
And all the chairs are rearranged now.
Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the street.
The neighbor's kids play different games now.
The colors in the trees have changed now.
Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year.
Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here.
The same address, the more or less.
More happens, less matters, I guess.
You'd never recognize my life.
The party-givers know my name now.
And when I cry it's not the same now.
Somehow, I never waste a single tear.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the room.
You'd never recognize . . .
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me.
Everything seems all wrong now.
He would have brought me the sun.
Making me smile, that was his fun.
When I was mean to him
he'd never say, "Go away, now."
I was a queen to him.
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue.
He was too good to be true.
You'd never recognize the room.
The pictures all have different frames now.
And all the chairs are rearranged now.
Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir.
Yes, there've been changes made
since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the street.
The neighbor's kids play different games now.
The colors in the trees have changed now.
Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year.
Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here.
The same address, the more or less.
More happens, less matters, I guess.
You'd never recognize my life.
The party-givers know my name now.
And when I cry it's not the same now.
Somehow, I never waste a single tear.
Yes, there've been changes made

You'd never recognize the room.
You'd never recognize . . .
All Of A Sudden Lyrics – Bette Midler
All of a sudden all the past was behind me.
All of a sudden nothing stood to remind me.
All of a piece I am awake and I can say.
All of a sudden I am finding religion.
All of a sudden all my sins are forgiven.
Now all at once it is down to you and me.
I see light over there at the end of the tunnel and
I don't mind if it takes a little more time.
Come over here, don't take your hand away.
Come over here, take my breath away.
Now is the time to say what you want to say.
(It's not a dream, this is really happening.)
All of a sudden, now baby, it's love.
All of a little just isn't enough.
All of a sudden, now baby, it's real.
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear.
All in a moment I was brought through the darkness.
All in one motion like the sun through the forest.
Oh, by the grace I am alive and I will live.
All of a sudden I am cleared of confusion.
All of my happiness is real, not illusion.
So many years I had to seek so I could find.
I see light over there at the end of the tunnel and
I don't mind if it takes a little more time.
Come over here, don't take your hand away.
Come over here, take my breath away.
Now is the time to say what you want to say.
(It's not a dream, this is really happening.)
All of a sudden, now baby, it's love.
All of a little just isn't enough.
All of a sudden, now baby, it's real.
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear.
Come over here, don't take your hand away.
Come over here, and take my breath away.
Now is the time to say what you want to say.
(It's not a dream, this is really happening.)
All of a sudden, now baby, it's love.
All of a little just isn't enough.
All of a sudden. now baby, it's real.
All of the riddle comes perfectly clear.
All of a sudden, now baby, it's true.
All of a sudden I believe in you.
All of a sudden I'm fooling around.
All of a sudden I know what I found.
I know what I found.
I know what I found.
I know what I found.
All of a sudden nothing stood to remind me.
All of a piece I am awake and I can say.

I've Still Got My Health Lyrics – Bette Midler
I'm always a flop at a top-notch affair,
but I've still got my health, so what do I care?
My best friend, alas, is a glass solitaire,
but I still got my health, so what do I care?
By fashion and foppery, I'm never discussed.
Attending the opry, my box would be a bust.
I never shall have that Park Avenue air,
but I'm in such health, why should I care?
The hip that I shake doesn't make people stare,
but I got such health, what do I care?
The sight of my props never stops a thoroughfare,
but I still got my health, so what do I care?
Your face is your fortune, so some wise man spoke.
My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke.
My ship ain't come in, but I grin while I bare
'cause I got my vitamins:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I still have my.
Got no diamonds, got no wealth.
I got no man, but I got my health.
but I've still got my health, so what do I care?
My best friend, alas, is a glass solitaire,
but I still got my health, so what do I care?
By fashion and foppery, I'm never discussed.
Attending the opry, my box would be a bust.
I never shall have that Park Avenue air,
but I'm in such health, why should I care?
The hip that I shake doesn't make people stare,
but I got such health, what do I care?
The sight of my props never stops a thoroughfare,
but I still got my health, so what do I care?
Your face is your fortune, so some wise man spoke.
My face is my fortune, that's why I'm totally broke.
My ship ain't come in, but I grin while I bare
'cause I got my vitamins:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H
I still have my.
Got no diamonds, got no wealth.
I got no man, but I got my health.
Wind Beneath My Wings Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
I Think It's Going To Rain Today Lyrics – Bette Midler
Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Baby Mine Lyrics – Bette Midler
Baby mine, don't you cry.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
never to part, baby of mine.
Little one, when you play,
pay no heed what they say.
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
never a tear, baby of mine.
If they knew all about you,
they'd end up loving you, too.
All those same people who scold you,
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your hair down to your toes,
you're not much, goodness knows.
But, you're so precious to me,
sweet as can be, baby of mine.
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
never to part, baby of mine.
Little one, when you play,
pay no heed what they say.
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
never a tear, baby of mine.
If they knew all about you,
they'd end up loving you, too.
All those same people who scold you,
what they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your hair down to your toes,
you're not much, goodness knows.
But, you're so precious to me,
sweet as can be, baby of mine.
The Glory Of Love Lyrics – Bette Midler
"This is a song I've been singing for a long time.
It's like an old friend.
But, you know, I think it,
it's only recently that I discovered what it's really about."
You've got to give a little, take a little,
and let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us,
we've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us,
we've got each other's arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
It's like an old friend.
But, you know, I think it,
it's only recently that I discovered what it's really about."
You've got to give a little, take a little,
and let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us,
we've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us,
we've got each other's arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
Under the Boardwalk Lyrics – Bette Midler
Oh, the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof.
And your shoes get so hot,
you wish your tired feet were fireproof.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
From the park you hear
happy sounds from the carousel.
You can almost taste the hot dogs
and french fries they sell.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
People walkin' above.
We'll be fallin' in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk.
Oooh, la la la la la la.
Oooh, la la la la la la la la la.
Help me somebody, sing some la la's with me.
Under the night, under the stars by the raging sea.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
People walkin', walkin'.
We'll be falling in love.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
Everybody walkin', walkin', walkin'.
We'll be under the boardwalk, boardwalk.
and burns the tar up on the roof.
And your shoes get so hot,
you wish your tired feet were fireproof.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
From the park you hear
happy sounds from the carousel.
You can almost taste the hot dogs
and french fries they sell.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
People walkin' above.
We'll be fallin' in love
under the boardwalk, boardwalk.
Oooh, la la la la la la.
Oooh, la la la la la la la la la.
Help me somebody, sing some la la's with me.
Under the night, under the stars by the raging sea.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
People walkin', walkin'.
We'll be falling in love.
Out of the sun.
We'll be havin' some fun.
Everybody walkin', walkin', walkin'.
We'll be under the boardwalk, boardwalk.
Otto Titsling Lyrics – Bette Midler
"This next story is a true story.
It concerns two of my favorite subjects:
industrial theft . . . and-a t-ts!
Mmm, what a combo! This is the story . . .
The inventor of the modern foundation garment
that we women wear today was a German scientist
and opera lover by the name of Otto Titsling!
This is a true story.
His name was Otto Titsling.
What happened to Otto Titsling shouldn't happen to a schnauzer.
It's a very sad story. I feel I have to share it with you."
Otto Titsling, inventor and kraut,
had nothing to get very worked up about.
His inventions were failures, his future seemed bleak.
He fled to the opera at least twice a week.
One night at the opera he saw an Aida
who's t-ts were so big they would often impede her.
Bug-eyed he watched her fall into the pit,
done in by the weight of those terrible t-ts.
Oh, my god! There she blows!
Aerodynamically this bitch was a mess.
Otto eyeballed the diva lying comatose amongst the reeds,
and he suddenly felt the fire of inspiration
flood his soul. He knew what he had to do!
He ran back to his workshop
where he futzed and futzed and futzed.
For Otto Titsling had found his quest:
to lift and mold the female breast;
to point the small ones to the sky;
to keep the big ones high and dry!
Every night he'd sweat and snort
searching for the right support.
He tried some string and paper clips.
Hey! He even tried his own two lips!
Well, he stitched and he slaved
and he slaved and he stitched
until finally one night, in the wee hours of morning,
Otto arose from his workbench triumphant.
Yes! He had invented the worlds first
over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. Hooray!
Exhausted but ecstatic he ran
down the street to the diva's house
bearing the prototype in his hot little hand.
Now, the diva did not want to try the darn thing on.
But, after many initial misgivings,
she finally did.
And the sigh of relief that issued forth
from the diva's mouth
was so loud that it was mistaken by some
to be the early onset of the Siroccan Winds
which would often roll through the Schwarzwald
with a vengeance!
Ahhhhh-i!
But little did Otto know,
at the moment of his greatest triumph,
lurking under the diva's bed
was none other than the very worst
of the French patent thieves,
Philippe DeBrassiere.
And Phil was watching the scene
with a great deal of interest!
Later that night, while our Brun Hilda slept,
into the wardrobe Philippe softly crept.
He fumbled through knickers and corsets galore,
'til he found Otto's titsling and he ran out the door.
Crying, "Oh, my god! What joy! What bliss!
I'm gonna make me a million from this!
Every woman in the world will wanna buy one.
I can have all the goods manufactured in Taiwan."
"Oh, thank you!"
The result of this swindle is pointedly clear:
Do you buy a titsling or do you buy a brassiere?
"Ohhh! Thank you!"

I Know You By Heart Lyrics – Bette Midler
[B:] Everybody wants to find a love,
somebody, somebody who will always care.
But we get locked up in our own worlds,
with feelings and secrets we're afraid to share.

Oh Industry Lyrics – Bette Midler
I am the captain and this is my shrine.
Lord of the manor. See what I leave behind.
River in flames, cities on fire.
Yes, I'm a relic trapped in the wire.
Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean,
throbs in the veins; a mother lovin' machine.
She is my wife. Her mechanical heart
constantly serving 'til death do us part.
Now a glorious war draws to a close.
The yellow winds blow. And I have to know.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Soon the cruel rains will start.
Is it true we must part company?
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
What have I ever done?
Where did I go wrong?
Joined at the hip; pain, hunger and I,
leave our gift to the world 'neath the phosphorous sky.
A labor of love is the truest of all.
But will I be forsaken after the fall?
Now a glorious war draws to a close.
The yellow winds blow. And I have to know.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud's prophecy.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Of me?
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope.
Industry, charity, faith, hope . . .
Lord of the manor. See what I leave behind.
River in flames, cities on fire.
Yes, I'm a relic trapped in the wire.
Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean,
throbs in the veins; a mother lovin' machine.
She is my wife. Her mechanical heart
constantly serving 'til death do us part.
Now a glorious war draws to a close.

Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud's prophecy.
Oh industry, whatever will become of me?
Of me?
Industry, charity, faith, hope.

Fat As I Am Lyrics – Bette Midler
Fat as I am.
Who wants to see a diva fat as I am?
I get mistaken now for Lainie Kazan.
How is it that I'm fat as I am?
Fat as I am.
The camera's gonna add a ton to my can.
This is the way they say Godzilla began.
How did I get as fat as I am?
"Try it again."
All of my friends say I should diet again;
That all my fans are gonna riot again.
"Look what happened to Liz."
All of my sins
are not as numerous as . . . all of my chins!
I could audition for the doublemint twins.
No one in the biz is as fat as I is.
Ah, but what's a career
when you put it next to knockwurst and beer?
They could park a DC10 on my rear.
God knows I got the gas!
There goes the chair.
But to tell the truth, I'm too fat to care!
I ate a meatball off the floor right over there.
Ah, you don't give a damn
when you're fat as I am!
Who wants to see a diva fat as I am?
I get mistaken now for Lainie Kazan.
How is it that I'm fat as I am?
Fat as I am.
The camera's gonna add a ton to my can.
This is the way they say Godzilla began.
How did I get as fat as I am?
"Try it again."
All of my friends say I should diet again;
That all my fans are gonna riot again.
"Look what happened to Liz."
All of my sins

I'm Singing Broadway Lyrics – Bette Midler
I'm singing Broadway and I love it!
I'm singing Broadway and I'm proud!
You can keep your Springsteen.
Shove your Chaka.
I really don't care for that kind of kaka.
Ethel, Liza, Chita, that's my crowd, my crowd!
Yes-sah, I'm singing Broadway and it's heaven!
'Cause "Heaven" is a song from a Broadway show!
Ah, just give me a part that's got laughter and tears
and I'll beat it like Yul Brenner for the next thousand years!
Ah, Broadway, Broadway, Broadway! Brrrrrravo!
Ahhh, who needs a girl who's got flourescent hair,
or an ugly boy singing off key?
Give me a broad who's got tits out to there,
belching it out to the balcony!
AhhhAHHHHHHHH!!!!
Yes, sir! I'm singing Broadway and it's heaven!
I'll be singing Broadway, yes, 'til I die!
Just tell me what could be better
than shaking your buns
in front of a chorus
of thirty-five nuns?
I'll climb every mountain
and ford every river I see.
A Lady and her muszack,
Ha-that's ha-me! Yeah!
I'm singing Broadway and I'm proud!
You can keep your Springsteen.
Shove your Chaka.

done in by the weight of those terrible t-ts.
Oh, my god! There she blows!
Aerodynamically this bitch was a mess.
Otto eyeballed the diva lying comatose amongst the reeds,
and he suddenly felt the fire of inspiration
flood his soul. He knew what he had to do!
He ran back to his workshop
where he futzed and futzed and futzed.
For Otto Titsling had found his quest:
to lift and mold the female breast;
to point the small ones to the sky;
to keep the big ones high and dry!
Every night he'd sweat and snort
searching for the right support.
He tried some string and paper clips.
Hey! He even tried his own two lips!
Well, he stitched and he slaved
and he slaved and he stitched
until finally one night, in the wee hours of morning,
Otto arose from his workbench triumphant.
Yes! He had invented the worlds first
over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. Hooray!
Exhausted but ecstatic he ran
down the street to the diva's house
bearing the prototype in his hot little hand.
Now, the diva did not want to try the darn thing on.
But, after many initial misgivings,
she finally did.
And the sigh of relief that issued forth
from the diva's mouth
was so loud that it was mistaken by some
to be the early onset of the Siroccan Winds
which would often roll through the Schwarzwald
with a vengeance!
Ahhhhh-i!
But little did Otto know,
at the moment of his greatest triumph,
lurking under the diva's bed
was none other than the very worst
of the French patent thieves,
Philippe DeBrassiere.
And Phil was watching the scene
with a great deal of interest!
Later that night, while our Brun Hilda slept,
into the wardrobe Philippe softly crept.
He fumbled through knickers and corsets galore,
'til he found Otto's titsling and he ran out the door.
Crying, "Oh, my god! What joy! What bliss!
I'm gonna make me a million from this!
Every woman in the world will wanna buy one.
I can have all the goods manufactured in Taiwan."
"Oh, thank you!"
The result of this swindle is pointedly clear:
Do you buy a titsling or do you buy a brassiere?
"Ohhh! Thank you!"
Favorite Waste Of Time Lyrics – Bette Midler
You're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
Here I am, I'm playing daydreaming fool again.
My favorite game.
And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above.
You're the one that I love and
you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
I don't care if being with you
is meaningless and ridiculous;
If it's wrong or right.
I'm gonna give you my love tonight
and tomorrow night 'cause
you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite wast of time.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
You're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
And one last thing:
I'm gonna give you my love tonight,
and the bells gonna ring 'cause
you're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby. you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
Here I am, I'm playing daydreaming fool again.
My favorite game.
And you are the one who's got my head in the clouds above.
You're the one that I love and
you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
I don't care if being with you
is meaningless and ridiculous;
If it's wrong or right.
I'm gonna give you my love tonight
and tomorrow night 'cause
you're my-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite wast of time.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
You're my-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
And one last thing:

My-i-i-i-i-i, baby. you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
My-i-i-i-i-i, baby, you're my favorite waste of time.
All I Need To Know Lyrics – Bette Midler
Look at my face. I know the years are showin'.
Look at my life. Still don't know where it's goin'.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes. Oh, they never see what matters.
And look at these dreams, so beaten and so battered.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
So many questions and still no answers.
I climb and climb but never get the view.
But when I hold you near me sometimes I feel so clearly
the only truth I'll ever know is me and you.
In my heart I long for inspiration.
And in my soul I know someday I'll find salvation.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
In my heart you're my inspiration.
And in my soul I know love is our salvation.
I don't kow much, but if I know you love me,
that will be all I need to know.
I don't know much, but if you say you love me,
that will be all I need to know.
Look at my life. Still don't know where it's goin'.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes. Oh, they never see what matters.
And look at these dreams, so beaten and so battered.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
So many questions and still no answers.
I climb and climb but never get the view.
But when I hold you near me sometimes I feel so clearly
the only truth I'll ever know is me and you.
In my heart I long for inspiration.
And in my soul I know someday I'll find salvation.
I don't know much, but I know I love you,
and that may be all I need to know.
In my heart you're my inspiration.
And in my soul I know love is our salvation.
I don't kow much, but if I know you love me,
that will be all I need to know.
I don't know much, but if you say you love me,
that will be all I need to know.
Only In Miami Lyrics – Bette Midler
Walking along the beach last night
who do you think I spy?
A girl with ebony fire eyes.
Soft and low do she cry.
Now what could be such a source of pain?
I so boldly inquire.
Pointing finger Havana way,
these three words which transpire:
She told me that only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami.
My story, she goes this way.
Fish may fly through the purple keys,
golden birds take to air.
I am bound to the earth, it seems.
My life can be so unfair.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Standing on the shoreline waiting,
everyone anticipating.
I can hear the broken hearted say:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
And she cries for her child without a mother.
And she cries for her son without a father.
And she cries for herself without a lover.
Can't face another day.
Chase the blues away.
I thought I heard her mumble as she
turned away:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Standing on the shoreline waiting,
everyone anticipating.
I can hear the broken hearted say:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so,
Only in Miami
is Cuba so,
Only in Miami
Ba Cuba so,
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away . . .
who do you think I spy?
A girl with ebony fire eyes.
Soft and low do she cry.
Now what could be such a source of pain?
I so boldly inquire.
Pointing finger Havana way,
these three words which transpire:
She told me that only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami.
My story, she goes this way.
Fish may fly through the purple keys,
golden birds take to air.
I am bound to the earth, it seems.
My life can be so unfair.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Standing on the shoreline waiting,
everyone anticipating.
I can hear the broken hearted say:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
And she cries for her child without a mother.
And she cries for her son without a father.
And she cries for herself without a lover.
Can't face another day.
Chase the blues away.
I thought I heard her mumble as she
turned away:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Standing on the shoreline waiting,
everyone anticipating.
I can hear the broken hearted say:
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so,
Only in Miami
is Cuba so,
Only in Miami
Ba Cuba so,
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami
is Cuba so far away . . .
Heart Over Head Lyrics – Bette Midler
I had a will of iron.
I had a heart of steel.
I always call the shots.
But, honey, you shoot to kill.
I've spent a hundred other nights like this.
A little laughter and a stranger's kiss.
But the next thing that I knew,
I was heart over head
over heart over head over you.
It's too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
I never once imagined
a night like this before,
that love would last for hours,
and still I begged for more.
If I sound a little crazy,
well, forgive me, please.
My head is swimmin'
and I'm on my knees
cryin', "Love me, love me, do!"
Because I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Can't seem to slow down.
Can't even touch the ground.
The harder I try,
the higher I fly.
I'm fallin' heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Where did you get your touch?
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
I like it much too much.
Heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you . . .
I had a heart of steel.
I always call the shots.
But, honey, you shoot to kill.
I've spent a hundred other nights like this.
A little laughter and a stranger's kiss.
But the next thing that I knew,
I was heart over head
over heart over head over you.
It's too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
I never once imagined
a night like this before,
that love would last for hours,
and still I begged for more.
If I sound a little crazy,
well, forgive me, please.
My head is swimmin'
and I'm on my knees
cryin', "Love me, love me, do!"
Because I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Can't seem to slow down.
Can't even touch the ground.
The harder I try,
the higher I fly.
I'm fallin' heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Where did you get your touch?
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you.
I like it much too much.
Heart over head
over heart over head over you.
Too late to stop it now.
I'm heart over head
over heart over head over you . . .
