Midler, Bette - My One True Friend Lyrics






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.

    This song is my mothers and my song, she was/is My "One True Friend". She passed away 2 months ago and I go visit and have coffee, that was our thing we have coffee every morning when I drop my kids off at school, so I still have coffee with her, weather permitted as often as I can, and we listen to songs and I talk to her about everything as always did. I miss her more than anyone knows, its hard to put into words the whole in my world and the ache in my heart. Its hard to breath, except when I am sitting with her. Cherish youre moms and know they love you like no one else ever will, she is your life long friend, she loved before anyone else
    I Love You Mom, My One True Friend Always.

  61. V.... S....

    Penny. My one true friend.

  62. J.... M....

    It's "Bathhouse Betty", not Bethhouse! It's a reference to the days when she sang live at a popular New York City bathhouse.

  63. O.... ....

    Super 👍

  64. T.... S....

    That's beautiful.

    My song I sing to Mum .... Today I wish you were here with me Mum... RIP..... I love you Mummy... X

  68. D.... B....

    The movie that this song is from, "One True Thing" is as beautiful as the song. I lost my beloved husband this past Feb. & he was "my one true friend". It would have been so meaningful to have played it at his memorial service. I love the way the song speaks about the ups & downs of a relationship, but in the end you realize that the person you have spent many years with & been thru many changes with is indeed your "one true friend" as well as your "one true love".


  69. J.... ....

    One True Thing...

  70. W.... ....

    I wish I had ever had a true friend. Beautiful song.

  71. R.... M....

    I still miss my "One True Friend"

  72. N.... M....

    Stupenda.....Peccato che non fai spettacoli in Europa.....Un brano da sognare.

  73. c.... .....

    I cant listen to this without the tears rolling down my cheeks a few bars in...makes me think of my lovely mum who passed away just over a year ago....she really was my "one true friend ". Bette sure knows how to tug on the heartstrings with this one.

  74. S.... P....

    she is most defently a wonderful singer! I just love her.

  75. A.... F....

    Deicato alla mia mamma che ora è in cielo.
    Dedicated to my mother, who is in heaven now!

  76. C.... M....

    My BFF gave me a CD she personally created about 3 yrs before she died. She was terminal with a certain lung disease. She told me the first song on the CD was her dedication from her to me...it was this song, My One True Friend. She always had a thing for Bette Midler, be it her music or her movies....she loved being sentimental and nostalgic. Ironically, we did have a falling out afterwards, but reunited 7 months before she died at age 31. I miss her so. No one should grow old w/o their BFF. :(

    C.... M....

    she was a true friend when one can feel such passion for someone its no joke u should always cherish he memory her smile her laughter the little things she values in her life friendships r rear thats what makes it so beautiful when u really find it

  77. M.... C....

    I love this movie. I love Bette. I love my mother, my one true friend...

  78. G.... A....

    Beautiful song and great singer. Its sad but sometimes we just have to move on. Things occur in our life that changes us and then the people around us change in different ways and take a different path. I wish you all the best my friend.

  79. m.... ....

    so beautiful....is that an elephant? she's awesome!

  80. t.... r....

    beautiful song! to my husband...who has gone too soon...you are my one true friend!

  81. R.... S....

    That's what a good song, lighting and make up can do. Inspire!!

  82. J.... P....

    this song reminds me of my friend sherry mcquire...she was my one true friend. she has been gone from my life for almost 21 yrs and i miss her forever.what makes me sad is that she took her own life and i wasn't there for her.i know that she made that choice and that i couldnt have stopped it from happening but i just wish i would have not lost contact with her.i never got to say good bye. i love you sherry you were my one true friend and i will miss you always.love jdc

  83. A.... ....

    Why do people search videos and dislike them? If you didn't like it, why did you bother to waste your time to find it?

  84. s.... ....

    wow...single are we? X-D who cares if its a redundant title song? besides it worked better than "Bathhouse Betty." what would YOU have titled it? X-D

  85. R.... R....

    I dedicated this song to Max, my one true best friend

  86. t.... ....

    I dedicate this song to my dog who passed away on the 27th of this month who lived to be 10 years old. I love you.

  87. S.... ....

    simply beautiful........

  88. T.... S....

    I think we can all agree one one thing, it is a very beautiful song sung beautifully by Ms Midler.

  89. f.... ....

    una meravigliosa canzone interpretata con grande sensibiltà da una grande che non mi stanco mai di ascoltare. Ho acuistato tutti i filmi e li rivedo spesso, sopratutto Beaches ,for the boys.una fortuna sfacciata, Grazie Bette.

  90. V.... S....

    RIP my sister Penny. Miss you.

  91. s.... ....

    This is a beautiful song. So well done by Bette.
    I am a little perplexed by the reference to "Bethhouse Betty". Bette is Jewish, and she would know, I'm sure: S/B Bathhouse,actually. Beth is the Hebrew word for house; so that be Househouse. A little redundant. Probably just a typo. I was amused ;-)

  92. m.... ....

    Heard this @ the End of the Movie "One True Thing"
    and thought that I would Play it for You.
    John 8:12
    12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,
    “I am the light of the world.
    Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
    but will have the light of life.”

    +

    m.... ....

    AMEN!!!

  93. E.... T....

    Makes me cry everytime.. The beginning is so sincere and touching
    bette, such a soul..

  94. j.... p....

    dedication to : my mother ...Gladys, and Gislene Alexis...

  95. j.... ....

    Still enjoying this song. Hope it comforts many and encourages all!!! Peace+
    sAm:)

  96. L.... K....

    I agree with this comment whole-heartedly.

  97. H.... ....

    This song is amazing, it should of been put on her latest 'Best Of' CD 'Jackpot' sometimes I don't get record companies, everytime an artist releases a Greatest Hit's they seem to leave a song or two out. this song deserves more credit! :=)
