This Life

Bruce Springsteen

A bang then stardust in your eyes
A billion years for just this night
In a way it will be alrightA blackness then the light of a million stars
As you slip into in my car
The evening sky strikes sparksThis life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expectAt night at my telescope alone
This emptiness I've roamed
Searching for a homeThe stars, a brief string of shining charms
Rushing in right out of our arms
Into the drifting darkThis life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expectThis life, this life and then the next
I finger the hem of your dress
My universe at restWe 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 onThen a million sighs cresting were you stood
A beauty in the neighborhood
This lonely planet never looked so goodThis life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expectThis life, this life and then the next
I finger the hem of your dress
My universe at rest
