I´m standing in the backyard
Listening to the party inside
Tonight I´m drinkin´ in the forgiveness
This life provides
The scars we carry remain but the pain slips away it seems

Oh won´t you baby be in my book of dreams
I´m watching you through the window
With your girlfriends from back home
You´re showing off your dress
There´s laughter and a toast
From your daddy to the prettiest bride he´s ever seen
Oh won´t you baby be in my book of dreams
In the darkness my fingers slip across your skin
I feel your sweet reply
The room fades away and suddenly I´m way up high
Just holding you to me
As through the window the moonlight streams
Oh won´t you baby be in my book of dreams
Now the ritual begins
´Neath the wedding garland we meet as strangers
The dance floor is alive with beauty
Mystery and danger

We dance out ´neath the stars ancient light into the darkening trees
Oh won´t you baby be in my book of dreams
