Bruce Springsteen - This Life

A bang then stardust in your eyes

A billion years for just this night

In a way it will be alright

A blackness then the light of a million stars

As you slip into in my car

The evening sky strikes sparks

This life, this life and then the next

With you I have been blessed

What more can you expect

At night at my telescope alone

This emptiness I've roamed

Searching for a home

The stars, a brief string of shining charms

Rushing in right out of our arms

Into the drifting dark

This life, this life and then the next

With you I have been blessed

What more can you expect

This life, this life and then the next

I finger the hem of your dress

My universe at rest

We reach for starlight all night long

But gravity is too strong

Chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on

Then a million sighs cresting were you stood

A beauty in the neighborhood

This lonely planet never looked so good

This life, this life and then the next

With you I have been blessed

What more can you expect

This life, this life and then the next

I finger the hem of your dress

My universe at rest
