I Could Write a Book lyrics

A-B-C-D-E-G-H
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
