Lyrics

Every lover would get a rose on Valentine's Day
And every stray dog would find its way
I'd be in your arms tonight with your ease
Instead of at your doorstep on my knees

In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world

The passing days absolve all our sins
In the cool of the evening, the losing team wins
How to count my lack of trust
And the mess I made of us

In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world

When you held me, I could not fall
When we walked together, we walked tall
When you locked me in your arms, I felt so free
When I looked in your eyes, I saw what I thought would be

A perfect world
A nearly perfect world

The harshness of the day would be broken by rain
The shattered hearts would come together again
We'd have the guts to let our love stand
I'd never let you slip through my hands

In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world

Writer(s): Bruce Springsteen
