  			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
