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

 

(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)

(Never, 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
