I Could Write a Book

I Could Write a Book - Betty Carter with the Ray Bryant Trio

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

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
