I Could Write a Book Songtext
von 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
