Paradise Lyrics


There is a land I know,
Where lovers go, and flowers grow,
Forever more.
Where time is standing still,
And lovers fill the quiet places,
By the shore.We will cross the rainbow
To a place where we'll be free,
And he'll give his love to me.
So I wait for the day,
When he takes me away, to...Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
It's never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.We'll build a castle there,
Where we can share the happiness
We've waited for.
Where white flamingos fly,
Away up high, and play above

The ocean floor.We will climb a mountain
To see our wonderland.
Maybe now you'll understand
Why I wait for the day,
When he takes me away, to...Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
A never-never land.
Whoa-oo, whoa-oo, whoa.I'll stand by him,
Do right by him
And I swear that I would die for him.
Ohh, die for him.Paradise.
He'll take me by my hand.
We'll walk along the sand.
It's never-never land.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll stand by him,
Do right by him.
Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.I'm gonna stand, I'm gonna stand by him.
Gonna do right, gonna do right by him.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah...

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).
