Ella Fitzgerald — I Could Write a Book lyrics
The page contains the lyrics of the song "I Could Write a Book" by Ella Fitzgerald.
Lyrics
I never learned to spell
at least not well.
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
