Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter-performer who records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey.
Springsteen's recordings have included both commercially accessible rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run, showcase a talent for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily American life; he has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million worldwide and he has earned numerous awards for his work, including 21 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award. He is widely regarded by many as one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, and in 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him as the 23rd Greatest Artist of all time.
Springsteen was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and spent his childhood and high school years in Freehold Borough. He lived on South Street in Freehold Borough and attended Freehold Borough High School. His father, Douglas Frederick Springsteen, was of Dutch and Irish ancestry and worked, among other vocations, as a bus driver, although he was frequently unemployed; his surname is Dutch for jump stone. His mother, Adele Ann (née Zerilli), was a legal secretary and was of Italian ancestry. His maternal grandfather was born in Vico Equense, a city near Naples. He has two younger sisters, Virginia and Pamela. Pamela had a brief film career, but left acting to pursue still photography full time; she took photos for the Human Touch and Lucky Town albums.
Oh, it's been such a long long time
Looks like I'd get you off of my mind
But I can't
Just the thought of you, my love
And my whole world turns misty blue
Oh, honey, just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
Listen to me good baby
I think of the things that we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby, baby, baby
When I say that I'm glad we're through
Deep in my heart, I know I've lied, I've lied
Baby, baby, when I say that I'm glad we're through
Oh, deep in my heart, I know I've lied
I know I've lied
Oh, oh, hey
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I can't forget you
Heaven knows I try, heaven knows I try
And, oh, hey, hey, hey
Oh, no I can't, no I can't, oh, I can't, I can't forget you
And my whole world turns misty blue
Hey, hey, yeah
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I can't
Said I can't forget you
If you know the song, sing along
Ooh, cause my whole world turns misty blue
And I wanna say, before I go right now tonight y'all
BecauseI don't have any thing else unless
You wanna hear it
I wanna say from the bottom of my heart
Now I really know what love is
>From a distance
And it's real love
And I wanna thank each and every one of you
For supporting me, cause I couldn't have done it without you
And I'd be misty blue if I didn't have your love
And if it was you
I'd be out there screamin and cheerin for you
