Bruce Springsteen - Valentine's Day lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Valentine's Day lyrics]
I'm driving a big, lazy car
Rushin' up the highway in the dark
I got one hand steady on the wheel
And one hand's tremblin' over my heart
It's pounding, baby
Like it's gonna bust right on through
And it ain't gonna stop till
I'm alone again with you
A friend of mine became a father last night
When we spoke, in his voice
I could hear the light
Of the skies and the rivers
The timberwolf in the pines
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight I miss my girl, mister
Tonight I miss my home
Is it the sound of the leaves
Left blown by the wayside
That's got me out here on
This spooky old highway tonight?
Is it the cry of the river
With the moonlight shining through?
That ain't what scares me, baby
What scares me is losin' you
They say if you die in your dreams
You really die in your bed but, honey
Last night I dreamed my eyes rolled
Straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared
And breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom
I felt rushing over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a
Dream that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields
I felt rushing through my arms no, no, baby
Baby, it was you
So hold me close, honey
Say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
Rushin' up the highway in the dark
I got one hand steady on the wheel
And one hand's tremblin' over my heart
It's pounding, baby
Like it's gonna bust right on through
And it ain't gonna stop till
I'm alone again with you
A friend of mine became a father last night
When we spoke, in his voice
I could hear the light
Of the skies and the rivers
The timberwolf in the pines
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight I miss my girl, mister
Tonight I miss my home
Is it the sound of the leaves
Left blown by the wayside
That's got me out here on
This spooky old highway tonight?
Is it the cry of the river
With the moonlight shining through?
That ain't what scares me, baby
What scares me is losin' you
They say if you die in your dreams
You really die in your bed but, honey
Last night I dreamed my eyes rolled
Straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared
And breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom
I felt rushing over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a
Dream that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields
I felt rushing through my arms no, no, baby
Baby, it was you
So hold me close, honey
Say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
