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   No where 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   I saw your picture, heard you call my name   Oh and even though we never, never touched   I keep waiting for you just the same
