Lyrics
Thank you
John Hicks
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
Then the world would never forget
The simple secret of my plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
The world discovers as my book ends and make it
How to make two lovers of friends
