I Could Write A Book (Remastered Version 1957 Original Recording) - Vivian Blaine/Glenn Osser

If they ask 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 of friends

A b c d e g h

I never learned to spell

At least not well

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

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 just how we met

So the world would never forget

Forget

And the simple secret of the plot

Is just to tell them that

I love you allot

Then the world discovers

As my book ends

How to make two lovers of friends
