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
