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
