I Could Write a Book - "Pal Joey" 1940 / Blue Moon / Thou Swell - "A Connecticut Yankee" 1927
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Loren Hart

lyrics

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!
And the world discovers as my book ends,
how to make two lovers of friends.

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone.
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own.

Blue moon. You knew just what I was there for.
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for.

And then suddenly appeared before me;
the only one my arms could ever hold.
I heard you whisper "Please adore me" and when I looked
that moon had turned to gold!

Blue moon. Now I'm no longer alone.
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own.

Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand.
Wouldst kiss me pretty, wouldst hold my hand.
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me!
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapalooza in thee.

I'd feel so rich if I only had to live in a hut for two.
We'll have two rooms and a kitchen, yes, I'm sure that would do!
Give me not a lot of, just a plot of land and
Thou swell, thou witty, thou grand!
