My One True FriendBette Midler

Released: September 15, 1998

Songwriter: David Foster Carole King Carole Bayer Sager

Producer: David Foster

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things
A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing

I have walked and I have I prayed
I could forgive and we could start again
In the end
You are my one true friend

For all, all the times you closed your eyes
Allowing me to stumble or to be surprised
By life, with all its twists and turns
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn

And when I left, it's you who stayed
You always knew that I'd come home again
In the end
You are my one true friend

Though love may break, it never dies
It changes shape, through changing eyes
What I denied, I now can see
You always were the light inside of me

I know, I know, I know, I know it was you

I have walked and I have I prayed
I could forgive and we could start again
In the end, you are my one true friend

My one true friend
I always, always knew
I always knew that it was you
My one true friend

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.
