Anita O`day - I Could Write A Book (Feat. Billy May)

A B C D E 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

Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers a friend

Use 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

Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers a friend
A B C D E G
I never learned to spell
At least not well

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

A great amount

But my busy mind is burning
To use what learning I've got

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

Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers a friend

Use 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

And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot

How to make two lovers a friend
