Oooooh. Oooh-hoooh
Ooooo-hoooh
It's such a mystery
How he found something in me
That I never knew was there
He uncovered it so easily
He turned me like a season
And I began to change
He wrapped himself all around me
Now I'll never be the same

That's how love works
That's how love moves
Like a river running through you
Sometimes it lifts you
As high as Heaven
It consumes you, that's a given
That's how love moves
Ohh, that's how love moves

I've seen walls that could never be broken
Come a-tumblin' down, oh yes I have
I've heard the voice of love calling
Without making a sound
See, I was touched by an angel
The day he took my hand
I know that he's the miracle
That makes me eveything I am

That's how love works
That's how love moves
Like a river running through you
Sometimes it lifts you
As high as Heaven
It consumes you, that's a given
That's how love moves
Ohh, that's how love moves
Woah, love

Sometimes it's a whisper
Oh, sometimes it's a storm
Sometimes it reaches forever
With it's everlasting arms

That's how love works
That's how love moves
Like a river running through you
Sometimes it lifts you
High as Heaven
It consumes you, yeah, that's a given

Ohhhhhhh!
That's how love works
That's how love moves
Like a river, yeah, like a river
Running through you, running through your heart and soul
Sometimes it lifts you
As high as Heaven
Heaven!
It consumes you, that's a given

That's how love works. That's how love works
That's how love moves. That's how love moves
Like a river running through you. Like a river running through your heart and soul
Sometimes it lifts you
As high as Heaven. Heaven!
It consumes you, that's a given
That's how love moves

That's how love moves
That's how love moves
That's how love moves
That's how, that's how, that's how
That's how love moves
That's how love moves

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.
