Agreed. The first time I heard this song, I was bitter that I hadn't ever heard it before until that moment. The love songs on The River are beyond description, I think. Somehow, Bruce is actually able to channel human emotions and transmit them through his songs. "...Oh girl you've got my love, heeeeeeaaaaaaaaarrrrrrt and soul". Anyone who has ever been in love with someone and really attached to them should be able to discern the almost foolish level of desperation we can sometimes succumb to. This is about being giddy, blindly in love....

This is about being giddy, blindly in love. The only thing that matters is the things related to her. Its when the tough guy front you put on to the boys at the pub melts into a dizzy little halfwit when she gets you one on one, and then you miss her unbearably until you see her again. "I swear I'd drive all night". He would.
One of the best songs ever...sung with such powerful emotion...its a sham the way Springsteen's best songs are ignored on here.
