Instrumentally Yours: Learn English with Songs #2

Hey there again,



Saturday is a great day. The roads are clear and long car rides can actually be enjoyed. My mood was highly influenced by the peacefulness of today; thus I chose a soothing tune, hoping it will help you calm down, relax and enjoy the remainder of your  Saturday.

This song is by one of my favorite artists, Bruce Springsteen, who has a very unique voice and whose songs are always inspirational and moving. The song that I am about to share with you is one that he wrote shortly before his wedding to his current wife, Patti. It is, indeed, one of the top love songs he's ever written. My favorite thing about this song is that it's slow, so the words are easy to be heard, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the lyrics. I really hope you like this song as much as I do. The name of the song is '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 watchin' you through the window 

With your girlfriends from back home 
You're showin' 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 holdin' 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.
