Bette Midler — The Perfect Kiss

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
