Song language: English
I Could Write a Book |
| I never learned to spell |
| At least not well |
| I never learned to count |
| A great amount |
| But my busy mind is burning |
| To use what learning I’ve got |
| I won’t waste any time |
| I’ll strike while the iron is hot |
| If they asked me, I could write a book |
| About the way you walk and whisper and look |
| I could write a preface on how we met |
| So the world would never forget |
| And the simple secret of the plot |
| Is just to tell them that I love you a lot |
| Then the world discovers as my book ends |
| How to make two lovers a friend |
| Use to hate to go to school |
| I never cracked a book; |
| I played the hook |
| Never answered any mail; |
| To write I used to think was wasting ink |
| It was never my endeavor |
| To be too clever and smart |
| Now I suddenly feel |
| A longing to write in my heart |
| If they asked me, I could write a book |
| About the way you walk and whisper and look |
| I could write a preface on how we met |
| So the world would never forget |
| And the simple secret of the plot |
| Is just to tell them that I love you a lot |
| Then the world discovers as my book ends |
| How to make two lovers a friend |
