The Perfect Kiss - 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
