I Could Write a Book Rodgers & Hart (Ft. Beverly Fite & Harold Lang)

[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
