Bruce Springsteen - Life Itself Lyrics






We met down in the valley, where the wine of love and destruction flows
There in that curve of darkness where flowers of temptation grow
I left the rest for the others it was you and nothing else
You felt so good to me baby, as good as life itself

You were life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you

I knew you were in trouble, anyone could tell
You carried your little black book from which all your secrets fell
You squandered all your riches, your, your beauty and your wealth
Like you had no further use for, for life itself

You were life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you

Why are things that we treasure most slip away in time
'Til to the music we grow deaf and to god's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart

'Til we fall away in our own darkness
Stranger to our own hearts
And to life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms

Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you
So here's one for the road
Here's one to your health

And to life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can't make it without you

Life itself
Life itself
Life itself
Life itself

    Masterpiece

  7. F.... R....

    I remember the first time I have heard this song. Immediately I had a kind of understanding about what life is about. Thank you Boss.

  8. M.... ....

    Bruce! 😍 The Boss!

  9. O.... t....

    Love the intro, wish the entire song had the same vibe. Still a great song though.

  10. L.... D....

    What an eternally valid message, I guess it is about living life, but also about understanding life itself

  11. E.... S....

    I can't help but wonder what part of his soul brought us this masterpiece of haunting sadness,some people think people like Bruce live in an immune luxury but as a songwriter with Warner Bros 36 years I know you can't write a song of this depth without experiencing it.As Bruce sang in human touch here a piece of that pain.

  12. M.... S....

    0:09 I swear, 60% of Bruce's songs use C, F and G type fingerings on the guitar. The only question is where he places the capo: the 2nd, 3rd or 5th fret. In this case, the 3rd.

    M.... S....

    Matt Smith it’s something I’ve thought about often with his music. How he lays such delicate melodies over 3 or 4 chords is really amazing.

  13. L.... D....

    This is really metal

  14. M.... M....

    Te adoro genio ❤

  15. G.... B....

    Maravilloso !!!

  16. B.... ....

    I pray for less I in Life and more we in Love For Eternity

  17. R.... B....

    Bruce you are one true inspiration. Your music makes my days and nights enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your music.

    The musical artist of my lifetime

  22. L.... R....

    so much love in his music! bringing tears all over my heart and soul! pouring down my eyes...but tears of love for "life itself" thank you Bruce!

  23. W.... G....

    Bruce has recently admitted that he suffers from severe depression. If it;s any comfort to him I want him to know he's well loved.

    W.... G....

    William Gibson I do as well and could tell from all of his music.

  24. n.... b....

    Oh my God! What a song!

  25. M.... K....

    Wow....

  26. B.... ....

    Sometimes when one takes a trip back down to "The River" one discovers "Life Itself"
    *No greater Love hath he than he who would lay down his life for a Friend*
    The Bible says that he who seeks to save his life shall loose it, but he who looses his life for Jesus sake shall save it.

    B.... ....

    Well said! I 'm in agree with you .. who neglet his life for another one's care, indeed saves two lives.

  34. M.... S....

    no one describes life its despairs and joys better

  35. K.... P....

    The Boss!  
    Have you embraced the words? Mind blowing..a magic! Kirit Pankhania x

  36. g.... ....

    I still think that the Working On a Dream album is so underrated, even among the Bruce fans. It may contain the Boss most emotional songs. 

    g.... ....

    Except for the cringe-inducing "Queen of the Supermarket" song. I get the vibe he's going for, but the lyrics are just so full of cheese, it brings the whole thing down a notch.

    g.... ....

    Queen of the Supermarket is raw Bruuuce. Go deeper and really listen.

    g.... ....

    Judas Iscariot and even that one is oddly touching, it glamorizes local checkout girls:))!!

    g.... ....

    Exactly, Working on a Dream is actually my favourite Bruce album, of course I’m only just 20, I wasn’t around for his earlier stuff:))!! Lol

  37. E.... O....

    Great song

  38. W.... E....

    This is beautiful, with a touching video to match. A legend in our time and bruce keeps getting better with songs like these.

  39. G.... K....

    I juz luv his voice 3

  40. M.... L....

    Fantastico. .....unico. ...

  41. S.... B....

    ♡♥ love ♡♥

  42. A.... H....

  43. l.... ....

    Wow! I love it

  47. G.... A....

    Que bueno joder!!!! Gira por Europa en 2014?? please!!!!! I NEED IT

  48. T.... ....

    Not really an essential Springsteen song, but this one will always a special place in my heart because it is basically the song that first got me into Bruce's music.

  49. N.... ....
