I Could Write a Book Songtext
von Tony Bennett

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
