Book of Dreams

I'm standing in the backyard listenin' 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

Yeah, just holdin' you to me

As through the window the moonlight streams

Oh, won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?

And now the ritual begins, underneath 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 darkenin' trees

Oh, won't you, baby, be in my book of dreams?
