Bette Midler

Mm, your love is lifting me higher
Than i ever been lifted before
Ooh, baby, keep it up, sweet baby
Quench my desire
And i'll be at your side forever more
'cause your love is liftin' me higher and higher
Your love keeps liftin' me, oh, higher, higher

Now once i was down-hearted
And disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came
And he soon departed
And you know i never seen
I haven't seen his face again!

Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Your love is liftin' me
Higher, higher, higher and higher

Your love keeps liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher

Your love keeps liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher

So glad i finally found you, babe
You're the best for these old arms
With those sweet, sweet lovin' arms around me
I tell you i don't need
I don't need
I-oh-i don't need no disguise, no!

Your love is liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher

Your love keeps liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me
Your love keeps liftin' me
Higher, higher

Your love is liftin' me
Whoa, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher
Gettin' higher, gettin' higher
You lift me, you take me
Higher and higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher!
Keeps on liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me
Keeps on liftin' me

Higher, higher, oh, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher and higher

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.
