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

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

I say 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

I know the simple, simple secret of the plot (oh plot, plot)

Is to tell you, oh, I miss you a lot (oh, baby)

And the world discovers as my book ends

How to make two lovers of friends
