Embracing Life's Forgiveness: A Journey Through Dreams
Lyrics
I'm standing in the backyard
I find myself in the backyard
Listening to the party Inside
Listening to the festivities inside
Tonight I'm drinkin' in the forgiveness
Tonight, I am seeking solace and redemption through drinking
This life provides
Reflecting on the experiences that life offers
The scars we carry remain but the pain slips away it seems
The visible marks of our past persist, but the emotional pain appears to fade
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams
Expressing a desire for a romantic connection, inviting someone to be a part of his dreams
I'm watchin' you through the window
Observing a gathering from outside through a window
With your girlfriends from back home
Noticing the presence of the person's friends from the past
You're showin' off your dress
Noting the person showcasing their attire
There's laughter and a toast
Highlighting the joyous atmosphere with laughter and toasts
From your daddy to the prettiest bride he's ever seen
Acknowledging the pride of the person's father seeing them as the most beautiful bride
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams
Repeating the invitation for the person to be a part of his dreams
In the darkness my fingers slip across your skin
In a private moment, physical contact is made in the darkness
I feel your sweet reply
Feeling a positive response from the person
The room fades away and suddenly I'm way up high
The surroundings fade away, and emotions elevate as if soaring high
Just holdin' you to me
Embracing the person closely
As through the window the moonlight streams
Observing the moonlight through a window
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams
Reiterating the desire for the person to be part of his dreams
Now the ritual begins
Transitioning to a ritualistic moment
'Neath the wedding garland we meet as strangers
Meeting as strangers under wedding garlands
The dance floor is alive with beauty
The dance floor is vibrant with beauty, mystery, and danger
Mystery and danger
Expressing the intensity of the dance
We dance out 'neath the stars' ancient light into the darkening trees
Moving from the dance floor to a natural setting under starlight
Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams
Repeating the invitation for the person to be part of his dreams in this new setting
