[00:04.73] Tell me what you see, is it close to what you dreamed?
[00:13.76] If I play a part can I be redeemed?
[00:23.72] We pore through the passages from leather volumed shelves,
[00:30.11] But they only leave us wondering, can we find ourselves
[00:35.60] In the book of love?
[00:41.38] In the book of love?
[00:44.81]
[00:48.15] Looking for the one, waiting on a day,
[00:57.10] Countless dinner parties, and all the games we play,
[01:07.29] All for some processional, a solemn wedding vow,
[01:14.25] A picture in a picture frame that Beauty can allow
[01:20.02] In the book of love.
[01:25.62] In the book of love.
[01:28.56]
[01:53.33] Love becomes a temple, and we begin to fear
[01:59.55] That an unfeeling oracle will say, "You did come near,
[02:05.48] But you are not welcome here."
[02:10.97]
[02:12.10] This is who I am, it's all the places I have been,
[02:19.60] The fondness and regret, and every love that I've been in.
[02:30.61] And I've played all the characters, the fool, the friend, the wife,
[02:37.89] And no matter what the ending is, the story of my life
[02:43.23] Is the book of love.
[02:49.10] Is the book of love.
[02:55.27] Is the book of love.
[03:01.05] Is the book of love.
[03:07.10] Is the book of love.
[03:11.50]
