I Could Write a Book

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

And the world discovers as my book ends

How to make two lovers of friends

Used 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

And the world discovers as my book ends

How to make two lovers of friends
