A Book You've Read Before Songtext
von Howe Gelb

Was it in a song you sang?
A long time ago
Or there in a book you stole a look
And could not let go
Or maybe in a flick with a plot so thick
You could never get bored
You found a love your heart
Could ill afford

You found a love that your heart
Could ill afford


Back in a room
With luminous light and fragrant bloom
Where your heart once soared
Now out of the storm
Safe and warm
From such a love they explored
Like the time in France with the wine
And the diamond dance
When you swore it was more
Than coincidence
When love was just
A just reward
Just not a thing that your heart
Could ill afford

When love is just a just reward
Just not the thing that your heart
Could ill afford
