Bette Midler - To Comfort You lyrics

You`ve been down in the dumps

it seems like forever.

Now, what have they done to you?

Not a single thing`s turned out

the way you imagined.

It all looks unreachable to you.

You don`t know for the life of you

what is missing,

or why it always happens to you.

And you don`t like yourself,

you feel nobody`s listening.

You don`t need another platitude.

For a moment you forget

and a smile comes to your face.

Aah, but it doesn`t last too long.

It`s like a string you got tied

around your finger

reminding you of

everything that`s wrong.

I won`t try to say I know what you`re feeling.

I won`t try to second guess you.

I won`t try to give advice you won`t be needing.

I`m only here to comfort you.

I`m only here to comfort you.

And I`d love to be the reason

a smile somes to your face,

even if it doesn`t last too long.

And I`d love to take that string

you`ve got tied around your finger

reminding you of everything that`s wrong.

I won`t try to say I know what you`re feeling.

I won`t try to second guess you.

I won`t try to give advice you won`t be needing.

I`m only here to comfort you.

I`m only here to comfort you.

I`m only here to comfort you.
