I Could Write A Book

Harry Connick Jr. · Other Songs - Harry Connick Jr.

If they asked me I could write a book



About the way you walk and whisper and look



I could write the 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 friends



And that 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 friends
