Sting - The Book Of My Life Lyrics
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
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
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
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

Faisal Alkaabi (May 5, 1933 - January 1, 2019) RIP Papa. I love you very much. We will meet soon, if not sooner. You are missed by many.
Beautiful combination of east met West, the sitar and guitar, really beautiful!!!
2019!! falling in love every time!!! Timeless generous art!!! Thank you STING!!! love you!!! from Madagascar <3
This is a song that would have fit better on "Brand New Day." It's a good tune, and one of the few good ones that were on "Sacred Love."
One of the most under rated Writers both Musically and Lyrically of our time!

Seria extremamente maçante se cada ser humano optasse por escrever o seu próprio livro da vida. A matriz seria exatamente a mesma, sem exceção. Por isso, meu desinteresse em autobiografias, normalmente monótonas. Sting, parabéns pela música, que substituiu com lirismo refinado o aborrecido livro sobre a sua vida do qual não conclui a leitura.
What an artist!!!
Mükemmel
The perfect song to put anyone that listens to it to sleep.
Untouchable, unfeelable, unseeable, unhearable, untasteable but existable...
This song is very special for me.and no doubt this song is awesome......
God said I'm not allowed to die until my entire life tastes like shit in my mouth.he didn't say it was forbidden to kill you though.id be careful what I rallied around if I were you.
Bellissima
Sept 2018 who else loves this song?
There's a chapter of God that I don't understand
The old Man's Search for happiness, made for 64 world's fair does a pretty good job of answering that, it's old but each line like Stings songs speaks volumes, hope you like it
Entrancing AND mesmerizing homophony btw voice and the sitar If I al not mistaking...
Does anyone else think that the words sound like they could've been written from Bilbo Baggins's POV ? Just listen
Every song of Sting sends you flying to Nirvana...Sting doesn’t sting at all, he gives warm embraces...❤️
He must have a big sting in his pants.
J S Are you 5 years old ?
sensation, magnifico, beautiful Sting, amazing, loved
SO : Wonderful vídeo. Bellísimo.Very ,Very. Beautiful. Fátima. 2/7/2018. ))))
Sting ..a man with his ears open to The world...this is his secret! Great man before that musician

relax........
¿Deseas que te amen? No pierdas, pues,
el rumbo de tu corazón.
Solo aquello que eres has de ser
y aquello que no eres, no.
Así, en el mundo, tu modo sutil,
tu gracias, tu bellísimo ser
serán objeto del elogio sin fin,
y el amor... un sencillo deber."
(Fragmento tomado del libro Alma de Gato de Ruth Berger)
haunting words.....
I'm in bed listening to a whole album of Sting songs.
Sting is beatiful singer, thank you.:-) G
In the book of my life...I heard this gem of a track way too late.
Better late than never :)

very beautiful song.
Déjame ver por el fuego y recordar mis días
Y puede ser un truco de la luz del fuego
Pero las páginas parpadeantes complican mi vista
Es un libro que me asusta escribir
Este es el libro de mis días, este es el libro de mi vida
Y cortado como una fruta en la hoja del cuchillo
Y es todo lo que hay para ver, como la sección lo revela
Hay algo de tristeza en toda vida.
Si se lee como un rompecabezas, un errante laberinto
Entonces no lo entenderé hasta el final de mis días
Todavía estoy forzado a recordar,
Recordar las palabras de mi vida.
Hay promesas rotas y promesas cumplidas
Palabras con ira que fueron dichas, cuando debería haberlas callado
Hay un capítulo de secretos, y palabras para confesar
Si pierdo todo lo que poseo
Hay un capítulo sobre la pérdida y un fantasma que no morirá
Hay un capítulo sobre amor, donde la tinta nunca se seca
Hay frases servidas en una prisión que construí a partir de mentiras.
Aunque las páginas estén numeradas
No puedo ver donde ellas guían
Al final, es un misterio que nadie puede leer
En el libro de mi vida.
Hay un capítulo sobre los padres, un capítulo sobre los hijos
Hay páginas sobre conflictos que nadie ganó
Y las batallas que perdiste y tu amarga derrota,
Hay una página donde fallamos en encontrar
Hay cuentos de buena fortuna que no pudieron ser planeados
Hay un capítulo sobre un dios que no puedo entender
Hay una promesa del cielo y del infierno, pero estoy condenado si lo veo
Aunque las páginas estén numeradas
No puedo ver donde ellas guían
Al final, es un misterio que nadie puede leer
En el libro de mi vida
Ahora la luz del día está regresando
Y si una sentencia es real
Todas estas páginas están quemándose
Y todo lo que quedas eres tú...Daniel....
Aunque las páginas estén numeradas
No puedo ver adonde ellas guían
Al final, es un misterio que nadie puede leer
En el libro de mi vida....
Normu pipita Sting is rare in that he's got it all! Voice stage presence musicianship songwriting ability and energy. How many front men can THIS be said about? He's brilliant!
I was listening for the song for the first time right from this playlist and immediately felt nostalgic and vulnerable without knowing the title. I dont know about you but i truly felt this song.
Shanghi Knights Music
This song was a collab with Anoushka Shankar.
Police
e
Hmm.. hence the use of Indian musical instrument Sitar (or Santoor) in the song.
Yep its it) RIP Raju Shanghar.
Amazing!!!!
wszystko co śpiewa ,zachwyca mnie ...
Thank you...
Incredible talent.

I am always in awe of the Music and Stories told by this Master Musician. Sting's 60th Birthday Bash was and is one of the most wonderful celebrations known to me! Minstrel Happiness....and as Bruce said - "he has too many chords in his music" - but they ARE necessary to paint the perfect musical picture.

Ah! an ongoing book that does not end.
It may end sometime in the future, but Sting's music and his incredible talent that inspires others will last forever.
"...for the end is a mystery that no-one can read".
