I held the book so tightly in my hands, | |
I saw your picture, heard you call my name | |
It was strange I could not look away | |
I had to be there, I wanted to go | |
You gave me no reason | |
you gave me no warning | |
But I was with you, | |
by your side | |
Give me the strength, so I can help you | |
And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me | |
It's written in the book | |
The sun is hotter than before | |
But inside it's cold, I wonder why | |
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm | |
Well I believe we can make it right | |
It's time now | |
to show our feelings | |
Looking through you | |
your heart's empty | |
Whatever happened to you, you can't change it, | |
Nowhere to run to, please, oh please don't let me down | |
But wait a minute I don't understand | |
it's getting stronger, hold my hand | |
Don't want to leave you I don't want to go | |
But I'm a' losing all control | |
Can't you see me I'm slipping away | |
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here | |
Oh Lord | |
It's written in the book | |
I held the book so tightly in my hands | |
Saw your picture, heard you call my name | |
Oh, and even though we never, never touched | |
I keep waiting for you just the same | |
La la la la la la la la la la la | |
La la la la la la la la la la la... |
