Bruce Springsteen - Book of Dreams lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Book of Dreams lyrics]
I'm standing in the backyard listening
To the party inside
Tonight I'm drinkin' in the
Forgiveness this life provides
The scars we carry remain, but
The pain slips away, it seems
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
I'm watching you through the window with
Your girlfriends from back home
You're showing off your dress
There's laughter and a toast
From your daddy to the prettiest
Bride he's ever seen
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
In the darkness, my fingers
Slip across your skin
I feel your sweet reply
The room fades away and suddenly I'm way
Up high just holding you to me
As through the window, the moonlight streams
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
Now the ritual begins, 'neath
The wedding garland, we meet as strangers
The dance floor is alive
With beauty, mystery, and danger
We dance out 'neath the stars
Ancient light into the darkening trees
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
To the party inside
Tonight I'm drinkin' in the
Forgiveness this life provides
The scars we carry remain, but
The pain slips away, it seems
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
I'm watching you through the window with
Your girlfriends from back home
You're showing off your dress
There's laughter and a toast
From your daddy to the prettiest
Bride he's ever seen
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
In the darkness, my fingers
Slip across your skin
I feel your sweet reply
The room fades away and suddenly I'm way
Up high just holding you to me
As through the window, the moonlight streams
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
Now the ritual begins, 'neath
The wedding garland, we meet as strangers
The dance floor is alive
With beauty, mystery, and danger
We dance out 'neath the stars
Ancient light into the darkening trees
Oh won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
