A
I'm standing in the backyard
Listening to the party inside
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

A
I'm watchin' you through the window
With your girlfriends from back home
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

A
In the darkness my fingers slip across your skin
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
 
A
Now the ritual begins
'Neath the wedding garland we meet as strangers
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
