Biography

Bette Midler counts singing as only one of her talents; since 1972, when she first came to national recognition, it singing seemed to be the least of her talents. Still, she managed to score a number of major hits in her career as a recording artist. In 1979 she starred in the film The Rose; the title track became a Top Ten hit. Her next film, Jinxed (1982), however, was a major flop, and subsequent records didn't fare well. In 1989, her version of "Wind Beneath My Wings" from her film Beaches became a chart-topping hit, rejuvenating her singing career. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

    Lyrics
    Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed
    Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
    Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need
    I say love, it is a flower and you, it's only seed
    It's the heart, afraid of breaking that never learns to dance

    Lyrics
    From a distance the world looks blue and green
    And the snow capped mountains white
    From a distance the ocean meets the stream
    And the eagle takes to flight
    From a distance, there is harmony

    Lyrics
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    It must have been cold there in my shadow
    To never have sunlight on your face
    You were content to let me shine, that's your way
    You always walked a step behind

    Lyrics
    Now write this down
    I'll never be your beast of burden
    My back is broad but it's hurtin'
    All I want is for you to make love to me
    I'll never be your beast of burden

    Lyrics
    From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
    Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
    Tonight, while the moon is bright
    He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
    To give the groanies of the girls and boys
