I am reading today in my book of the past
From it's pages so yellow and old
Each memory of you as I read the book through
Is worth more than silver and gold

(chorus)
I go back to the time I once called you mine
Oh, how happy the sweet long ago
Each page that I turn seems to make my heart yearn
For the love I no longer share with you

In this old book of mine many verses I find
That you wrote in the sweet used to be
In my heart there's regret, please forgive and forget
And rewrite all the pages for me

(repeat chorus twice)
