Tell me what you see

Is it close to what you dreamed


If I play a part


Can I be redeemed?




We pore through the passages


The leather volume shelves

But they only leave us wondering


Can we find ourselves


In the book of love, oh,

In the book of love





Looking for the one

Waiting on a day


Countless dinner parties


And all the games we play




Often sung processional


Solemn wedding vow

A picture in a picture frame


That beauty can allow


In the book of love, oh

In the book of love





And love becomes a temple

And we begin to feel


Then an unfeeling oracle


Will say you did come near

But you are not welcome here





This is who I am

All the places that I've been


Fondness and regret


Every love that I've been in




And I've played all the characters


The fool, the friend, the wife

And no matter what the ending is


The story of my life

Is the book of love, oh,


Is the book of love
