Tougher Than the Rest (Introduction) [Springsteen on Broadway]

Alright, alright, she is the queen of my heart.
She is my flaming beauty.
My Jersey girl.
She is a great songwriter, she's one of the loveliest voices I've ever heard. She is smart, tough, but fragile.
Don't forget that part.
If we love those in whose companies reflected the best of us,
That's the light she shines on me.
1984 one night, hanginG out at the Stone Pony
And this beautiful redhead shows up and sits in with the Sunday night house band
And that is the night I fell in love with Patti's voice.
She got on stage, this blaze of red,
she performed a great version of The Exciters' hit song "Tell Him".
So the first line of the first song I ever heard Patti sing was
I know somethin' about love
She does.
Ladies and gentlemen Patti Scialfa
