Bette Midler - The Perfect Kiss lyrics

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.
