To Comfort You Lyrics - Bette Of Roses - Bette Midler

You've been down in the dumps 

It seems like forever 

Now, what have they done to you? 

Not a single thing's turned out the way you imagined 

It all looks unreachable to you 

You don't know for the life of you what is missing 

Or why it always happens to you 

And you don't like yourself 

You feel nobody's listening 

You don't need another platitude 

For a moment you forget and a smile comes to your face 

Aa, but it doesn't last too long 

It's like a string you got tied around your finger 

Reminding you of everything that's wrong 

I won't try to say, "I know what you're feeling" 

I won't try to second guess you 

I won't try to give advice you won't be needing 

I'm only here to comfort you 

(Comfort you) 

I'm only here to comfort you 

And I'd love to be the reason 

A smile comes to your face even if it doesn't last too long 

And I'd love to take that string you've got tied around your finger 

Reminding you of everything that's wrong 

I won't try to say, "I know what you're feeling" 

I won't try to second guess you 

I won't try to give advice you won't be needing 

I'm only here to comfort you 

(Comfort you) 

I'm only here to comfort you 

I'm only here to comfort you
