As Dreams Go By Lyrics


When the white bird flies
From your heart to mine
I surrender every part of me
To the tendernessCould 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[Chorus:]
Stay
Make this forever
And lay love in my life
Come what may
Cherish each moment of love
As dreams go byIf the first glow fades
From the love we've made
I will hold you closer
In the night
Under heart and keyWhen there are hills to climb

And your world won't rhyme
I will fight until I get it right
'Cause you're part of me
The heart of me
Only if you'll stay[Chorus]The trees and the towers are burning
Fear walks on the sea
My soul in the wasteland is yearning
What does tomorrow hold for meWhat 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

Bette Midler (December 1, 1945) is an American singer, actress, and comedian, also known to her fans and especially in gay culture, as The Divine Miss M. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Jewish parents from New Jersey, and raised there. Midler relocated to New York City to pursue acting on stage, and in 1970 she began singing at the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the city, where she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first major album, The Divine Miss M in 1973. She is named after the actress Bette Davis although Davis pronounced her name in two syllables, and Midler uses one.

During her career, she has won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award, and has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She is currently performing a new concert show, The Showgirl Must Go On, live five nights a week as one of the current headliners at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (together with Cher and Elton John).
