A
I'm standing in the backyard

A
Listening to the party inside

A
Tonight I'm drinkin' in the forgiveness

A          D
This life provides

                    A                                                     D
The scars we carry remain but the pain slips away it seems

A                          E                        A
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams



Verse 2

A
I'm watchin' you through the window

A
With your girlfriends from back home

A
You 're showin' off your dress

A                               D
There's laughter and a toast

                A                                                    D
From your daddy to the prettiest bride he's ever seen

A                          E                        A
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams

Verse 3

A
In the darkness my fingers slip across your skin

A
I feel your sweet reply

A                                                                   D
The room fades away and suddenly I'm way up high

       A
Just holdin' you to me

A                                                    D
As through the window the moonlight streams

A                          E                        A
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams

Verse 4

A
Now the ritual begins

A
'Neath the wedding garland we meet as strangers

A
The dance floor is alive with beauty

A                 D
Mystery and danger

      A                                                                                  D
We dance out 'neath the stars' ancient light into the darkening trees

A                          E                        A
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams
