Song Lyrics
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,
right 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...
na na na na na na na na na na na na na
