Strangers in the night, exchanging glances
Wondering in the night what were the chances
We would fall in love before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so exciting
And in your smile, ooh, inviting
In my heart I knew I must have you

Strangers in the night, lonely people
Strangers in the night up to the moment
We said our first hello. Little did we know
Love was just a glance away, embacing dance away
It's just a glance away. It's just a chance away

Dancin', dancin' in the night. Stranger
C'mon, c'mon, treat a stranger right
I'm dancin', dancin' in the night. Stranger
I say what's on my mind
Let us be lovers. Yeah, it's gonna be all right
For strangers in the . .

Yeah, woo-hoo!
I'm dancin', dancin' in the night
Hello stranger. C'mon, whoa
Dancin', I'm dancin' in the night. Hello stranger
Woo. I'm dancin' in the night. Hello stranger
Oh-wo. Ohhhh

Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers
No, Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be
Doo-be-doo-be-doo. Don't wanna be strangers
No, no, nooo, don't wanna be strangers
No. Strangers . .

Bette Midler

Bette Midler is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, comedienne and actress. Named in honor of Bette Davis, Midler’s career began performing off-broadway until she developed the stage persona The Divine Miss M while singing at the world-famous Continental Baths gay bathhouse. A pre-fame Barry Manilow, the venue’s in-house piano player, produced her Grammy-nominated debut album which scored three US top 40 singles including the Grammy-nominated “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Midler took home the Best New Artist Grammy that year, her first of three career wins.

Throughout the 1970s, Midler found further success with music, Broadway, television and film. The Rose, Midler’s 1979 acting debut, earned her both Oscar and Academy Award nominations, and its namesake song won her a Golden Globe and another Grammy – also giving Midler her first success overseas.

The early 1980s proved less successful for Midler with four under-performing singles and a box office flop with the film Jinxed. However, the second half of the decade would prove far more fruitful with a handful of very successful films including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches, the latter featuring a chart-topping cover of “Wind Beneath My Wings” that won Midler her third Grammy and is considered one of the greatest songs in American film history.
