Lyrics: I Could Write A Book
Album: Unknown
Artist: Ella Fitzgerald
 

A b c d e f g
I never learned to spell,
At least not well.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
I never learned to count,
A great amount.

But my busy mind is burning to use what learning i’ve got,
I won’t waste any time,
I’ll strike while the iron is hot.

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.

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.
