Richard Rodgers - I Could Write a Book lyrics

[JOEY:] 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 of friends [LINDA:] Use to hate to go to school I never craked 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 of friends
