Air Supply : The Book of Love
Lyrics
1. THE BOOK OF LOVE
The book of love, that sacred place
Where we walk tall, or in disgrace
Who tills the ground on which we tread
Who gives us all our daily bread
The spirit woken from its sleep
The demon stirring from the deep
Whose gates at dawn we all must pass
The last one first, the first one last
Whose words must be both black and white
Whose music shall be day and night
The moon that tells us of the sun
Where voices soar so far above
These pages are the book of love
If we were born just to succeed
If life was meant to be a choice
For either happiness or greed
If you can't walk, you'll always run
Away from anyone, yes you will
But if we learn to take our time
As though each moment is a treasure
That's not so hard to find
When you are free, then suddenly
There's room for everyone, yes there is
[Chorus]
The book of love, the world of dreams
Those shadows fall upon us all
And send our weary eyes to sleep
But when you wake, your heart will make
Some room for everyone
Just come to me
There's nothing you should fear
Just come to me
I'll always be right here
I tell you now
Your heart is where I live
And what you ask, is what I'll give
If we were born just to succeed
If life was meant to be a choice
For either happiness or greed
If you can't walk, you always run
Away from anyone, yes you will
But if we learn to take our time
As though each moment is a treasure
That's not so hard to find
When you are free, then suddenly
There's room for everyone, yes there is
[Chorus]
2. STRONG, STRONG WIND
We walked away before
There were too many storms
We could not get throught
But I still kept loving you
Now fate brought you back to me
This time I won't let you leave
I'm holding on to you, forever,
I'm never letting go
The time I spent away from you
Was time that made me see
I need to live this life with you
I need you here with me
Now it would take a strong, strong wind
To take me from your arms again
To take me from your side
It would take a strong, strong wind
To pull away this heart of mine
To make us break apart this time
It would take a strong, strong wind
Hearts sometimes lose their way
But they find their way back someday
To the arms they need
And I need you like the air I breathe
The time I spent away from you was time
Lost in the rain
I'm meant to live this life with you
That's something nothing can change
And it would take a strong, strong wind
To take me from your arms again
To take me from your side
It would take a strong, strong wind
To pull away this heart of mine
To make us break apart this time
It would take a strong, strong wind
This time I'm holding on with everything
This time I won't let go for anything
It would take a strong, strong wind
To take me from your arms again
To take me from your side
It would take a strong, strong wind
To pull away this heart of mine
To make us break apart this time
It would take a strong, strong wind
Strong, strong wind
3. SO MUCH LOVE
Another day has come and gone
They fade away like winter sun
I should have felt, what I I didn't see
I should have known, that you needed me
But now you're here
My heart is young, my mind is clear
The past was gone, when you came to me
You were always a part of my destiny
I always believed, that this day had to come
There was not enough time
And too much left undone
I could never deny
Just how far we had come
I've got so much love
So much love
So much love
So much love
Another day to spend with you
That's all I ask, just to be with you
And how I feel, you just don't know
And now you're here, I won't let you go
I always believed, that this day had to come
There was not enough time
And too much left undone
I could never deny
Just how far we had come
I've got so much love
So much love
So much love
So much love
4. WHEN I SAY
I just saw a picture, from the lost and found
It was taken the day that we met
With so many people around
All my false bravado seemed to disappear
So I just had to follow my heart
I knew it would take me somewhere
And I still feel the same
But it's heart to explain
All my emotions are tossed in the wind
Lost 'til the moment, I hold you again
When I say I love you
When I say I need you
When you say come closer
I know I'll never leave you
You can stare into heaven
When your heart is free
I supppose that we just couldn't wait
For heaven is where we must be
And we still feel the same
No need to explain
I don't see the shadows
I don't feel the rain
I'm walking in sunlight
I'll tell you again
When I say I want you
When I say I need you
When you say come closer
I know I'll never leave you
When I say I love you
When you come closer
I know I'll never leave you
5. WE THE PEOPLE
All the people in the world
Distant voices to be heard
Sacred rhythm shall make you free
Dance together, unity
From creation, the mask of God
Inspiration is all we've got
Hidden knowledge, can't get enough,
Taking chances, making love
Face to face with the moment of truth,
All those little white lies
We the people, we the people decide
We the people, shedding skin
Age of reason lies within
Explanation, the club of Rome
Meditation, and staying home
Moving forward, the chosen few
Teach your children what is new
Band the table, beat the drum
New messiah, overcome
Face to face with the moment of truth,
All those little white lies
We the people, we the people decide
We the people, we the people decide
All the people in the world
Distant voices to be heard
Sacred rhythm shall make you free
Dance together, unity
Face to face with the moment of truth,
All those little white lies
We the people, we the people decide
We the people, we the people decide
Face to face with the moment of truth,
All those little white lies
We the people, we the people decide
We the people, we the people decide
We the people, we the people decide
We the people, we the people decide
6. ONCE
(Instrumental)
7. LET'S STAY TOGETHER TONIGHT
I feel your hand in mine, I touch your skin
Your heart is calling out
You want to let me in, to let me in
Your lips are silent now, we're not alone
I'd like to tell you how much
I'd like to take you home
So I can make love to you
I believe in you so
And there's only one moment to live
When you're here next to me
There's so much more I have to give
[Chorus]
When the wind blows
There's nothing else you can run to
Let's stay together tonight
I'm waiting for you
All the words that I told you
Will always be true
Let's stay together tonight
Whatever we do
Why must I keep pretending
I'm in control
When I can feel your senses
Burning through my soul
Through my soul
I believe in you so
And there's only one moment to live
When you're here next to me
There's so much more I have to give
[Chorus]
Hold me close, don't let me go
I just want you to say that, I need you
I want you to know
[Chorus]
8. DAYBREAK
Daybreak, I can't hide the truth
It seems I'm not so strong
And suddenly, there's no more to lose
So where did I go wrong
I should have known before
Her love for me was gone
Now I'm waiting for the light
To fill this empty room
I need you now to break thru the night
Whose shadows came too soon
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on
[Chorus]
Daybreak, oh daybreak
I let her walk away
I should have said, don't go
I know I should have found another way
Now I don't know what to do
So daybreak, please break through
Daybreak, I feel so alone
Why won't you come to stay
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on
[Chorus]
9. MOTHER SAID
Mother said, don't leave me
There are monsters at the door
I put on all my armour
But I couldn't find my sword
But there'll always be tomorrow
Just you wait and see
If they come to take you prisoner
I'll be there to set you free
Mother said, I'm grown up
In a Sunday shirt and tie
As long as I can see you
Can I hold you when I cry
There'll always be tomorrow
I'll be so big and strong
I'll sleep with all the lights out
Not afraid of anyone
I need you to stay
I need you to stay
I need you
I need you
Mother said she's sleeping
So I climbed back into bed
But the monsters took her prisoner
That's all that father said
So I thought about tomorrow
And I learned to be alone
Making friends with shadows
As they moved around my home
Mother never leaves me
I can always see her smile
I sit here in the evening
To talk to her awhile
There'll always be tomorrow
Just you wait and see
I know that any moment
She will come to set me free
I need you to stay
I need you to stay
I need you
I need you
I need you to stay
I need you to stay
I need you
I need you
10. WOULD YOU EVER WALK AWAY
From this moment I will follow you
To the borders of my country
Will you make those promises come true
Will you always want to hold me
[Chorus]
Would you ever walk away from love
Will your lips speak what is true
If you say that this is where you belong
That's all I want, from you
In the garden of my deepest soul
Is the seed to bring the future
It's the story that is young and old
And the student is the teacher
[Chorus]
Wind and rain can never change what is to be
Lightning strikes across my heart so suddenly
[Chorus]
11. ALL THAT YOU WANT
(Instrumental)
The book of love, that sacred place
Where we walk tall, or in disgrace
Who tills the ground on which we tread
Who gives us all our daily bread
The spirit woken from its sleep
The demon stirring from the deep

The last one first, the first one last
Whose words must be both black and white
Whose music shall be day and night
The moon that tells us of the sun
Where voices soar so far above
These pages are the book of love
If we were born just to succeed
If life was meant to be a choice
For either happiness or greed
If you can't walk, you'll always run
Away from anyone, yes you will
But if we learn to take our time
As though each moment is a treasure
That's not so hard to find
When you are free, then suddenly
There's room for everyone, yes there is
[Chorus]
The book of love, the world of dreams
Those shadows fall upon us all
And send our weary eyes to sleep
But when you wake, your heart will make
Some room for everyone

I'll always be right here
I tell you now
Your heart is where I live
And what you ask, is what I'll give
If we were born just to succeed
If life was meant to be a choice
For either happiness or greed
If you can't walk, you always run
Away from anyone, yes you will
But if we learn to take our time
