[Verse 1]
I've been lovin' you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
[Verse 2]
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
[Verse 3]
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
[Verse 4]
And I sang you all my sorrow
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys
[Instrumental Break]
See Bruce Springsteen LiveGet tickets as low as $60[Verse 5]
Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talkin' in my head
[Verse 6]
Now I'm not singin' for the future
And I'm not dreamin' of the past
I'm not talkin' of the first times
I never think about the last
[Verse 7]
And now this song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams, the measure of my dreams
