A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H |
|
I never learned to spell |
|
at least not well. |
|
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 |
|
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 |
