The Book Of My Life Lyrics - Sacred Love - Sting

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days 

And it may be a trick of the firelight 

But the flickering pages that trouble my sight 

Is a book I'm afraid to write 

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life 

And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife 

And it's all there to see as the section reveals 

There's some sorrow in every life 

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze 

Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days 

I'm still forced to remember, 

Remember the words of my life

There are promises broken and promises kept 

Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept 

There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess 

If I lose everything that I possess 

There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die 

There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry 

There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies. 

Though the pages are numbered 

I can't see where they lead 

For the end is a mystery no-one can read 

In the book of my life 

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons 

There are pages of conflicts that nobody won 

And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat, 

There's a page where we fail to meet 

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned 

There's a chapter on god that I don't understand 

There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see 

Photos 

Though the pages are numbered 

I can't see where they lead 

For the end is a mystery no-one can read 

In the book of my life 

Now the daylight's returning 

And if one sentence is true 

All these pages are burning 

And all that's left is you 

Though the pages are numbered 

I can't see where they lead 

For the end is a mystery no-one can read 

In the book of my life
