BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN LYRICS - This Life

"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
