Bruce Springsteen - This Life lyrics

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
