Bette Midler The Perfect Kiss lyrics

Across the bridge of mercy bound
Rooms so full of say you will
Trains that rock like cradles in the air
I'll stay here and hold your hand
Love likes fools you understand It
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 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
And I must try to make the best of this
Someday angels will dream, the perfect kiss
Someday angels will dream, the perfect kiss
