I COULD WRITE A BOOK
(Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart)

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

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 my plot
is just to tell them, babe, I love you a lot
Then the world discovers, as my book ends
how to make two lovers of friends

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 my plot
is just to tell them, babe, I love you a lot
Then the world discovers, as my book ends
how to make two lovers of friends
