| Song | I Could Write A Book |
| Artist | Dinah Washington |
| Album | The Complete Dinah Washington on Mercury, Vol. 4 (1954-1956) |
| 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 |
