A Book So Great
I had a book, a book so great
With so many things inside
It’s filled with all my joys and laughter
And those that I often hide
In all my days I’ve talked to it
And shared her lots of things
For all those times I spent with it
I feel that my heart sings
I even scribbled onto it
And drew some lines and stripes
But I make sure that all those things
Gives beauty in my eyes
I hid the book under a tree
And hoped no one finds it there
And then I went to find
Another book that I will care
I’ve tried to seek out every store
In every place I looked
But I can’t find the one the same
As my beloved book
And then I found a little book
Which I had interest
I picked it up and opened it
And left out all the rest
I’ve tried to share it lots of things
In all those happy days
But only my old book can give
A smile upon my face
And so I have decided to
Return to my old friend
Coz only there that I can have
The love I can depend
I have returned unto the tree
And seek out where it’s hid
But all I see are fallen leaves
And none of what I did
Only then I realized
The fault that I have done
Someone else has picked it up
And read it when I’m gone
And now the book’s already left me
With the man upon the air
All I can do is pray for him
To handle it with care
I had a book, a book so great
With so many things inside
But I won’t forget my days with it
Until this life has died
