In my dream, our love was lost
I lived by luck and fate
I carried you inside of me
Prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standin' on this empty road
Where nothin' moves but the wind
And, honey, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again

Oh, once I was your treasure
And I saw your face in every star
But these promises we make at night
Oh, that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love
They're empty as the howlin' wind
And, honey, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again

You came to me with love and kindness
But all my life I've been a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference
And I don't know why
Now I wake from my dream
I wake from my dream to this world
Where all is shadow and darkness
And above me, a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
I'm longin' for again
Now, darlin', I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
