Lyrics
I Could Write a Book
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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;
That the world will 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
