When you were lost and needed help
|
I hoped you would have turned to me
|
And when you couldn't save yourself
|
I watched you drowned that misery
|
|
I've seen the damage you have done
|
Every teardrop and misstep
|
You know I could have saved you some
|
I'm the book you never read
|
|
Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2
|
Your grandma swears that I am the truth
|
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
|
I'm like a member of the family
|
Three generations have handed me down
|
I'm in the drawer by your bed
|
I'm the book you never read
|
|
I can't take the first step for you
|
But when you take that step you'll find
|
You are the key, I am the door to
|
Forgiveness and some peace of mind and you know
|
|
Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2
|
Your grandma swears that I am the truth
|
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
|
I'm like a member of the family
|
Three generations have handed me down
|
And despite that is all they've said
|
I'm still the book you never read
|
|
So when the world treats you unkindly
|
And your heart is heavy with regret
|
That's when I wish you would find me
|
I'm the book you've never read
|
|
Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2
|
Your grandma swears that I am the truth
|
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
|
I'm like a member of the family
|
Three generations have handed me down
|
I'm in the drawer by your bed
|
I'm still book you never read, you've never read
