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)
