God Give Me Strength Lyrics


Now I have nothing
So God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak anyway
And if I'm strong I might still breakAnd I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the airThat song is sung out, this bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strengthI can't hold on to him
God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imaginingEverything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earthThat song is sung out, this bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strengthGod, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemyAnd maybe I was washed out
Like a lip print on a shirt

See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him, I want him to hurtSince I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy endingThat song is sung out, this bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strengthOoh, ooh
Wipe him from my memory
Ooh, I got to wipe him from my memory
Mmm, ooh

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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).
