I Could Write a Book Lyrics

A B C D E F G
I never learned to spell
At least not well1 2 3 4 5 6 7
I never learned to count
A great amountBut 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 hotIf 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 forgetAnd the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
And the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friendsAnd the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
And the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 in Newport News, VA – June 15, 1996), also known as Lady Ella (the First Lady of Song), was one of the most influential jazz singers of the 20th Century, the winner of thirteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Art presented by President Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom presented by President George H. W. Bush. Gifted with a three-octave vocal range, she was noted for her purity of tone, near faultless phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
