[Verse 1]
I took a dive into your eyes
And I was in a sea of deep blue green emotion
Now in my dreams it often seems that you are moving me
Like tides moving the ocean

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart hears you calling
And I feel that I'm falling

[Chorus]
Into a love that's deeper than blue
A bottomless love
Into the dreamy deep with you
Bottomless love

[Verse 2]
And as we lie I feel that I am floating
In a stream of clear crystalline feeling
I want to wade into your waves
And let them wash me clean
To hold you is so healing

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart hears you calling
And I feel that I'm falling

[Chorus]
Into a love that's deeper than blue
A bottomless love
Into the dreamy deep with you
Bottomless love

[Bridge]
My sorrows washed away like rain
The lonely simple joys remain
Holy bliss, bottomless love

[Chorus]
Into a love that's deeper than blue
A bottomless love (Dream)
Into the dreamy deep with you
Bottomless love
Into a love that's deeper than blue
A bottomless love (Dream)
Into the dreamy deep with you
Bottomless love (Dream, whoa-oh-oh)

[Outro: Fade]
Bottomless love (Falling)
Bottomless love (Picture of a dreamy deep with you)
Bottomless love (Falling)
Bottomless love (Yes, I've fallen, I've fallen, I've fallen in love with you)
Bottomless love (Falling)
Bottomless love (Woah-oh-oh)
Bottomless love (Falling)
Bottomless love (Ah)
Bottomless love (Falling)

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.
