song title

[charles]

Can anyone tell me the name of the famous G. L. song with the words 'paperback novel" or "like a paperback novel" in the lyrics. The melody is uptempo, beautiful and easily recognized. I keep hearing it at my gym but cannot get the rest of the words or the title. Help, please

Hi charles,

You have really picked one of the most famous songs.

The title is:
"If You Could Read My Mind".

and it is on the albums:
"If You Could Read My Mind" (obvious, heh?)
"Gord's Gold" and
"Songbook Collection".

The complete line you are referring to is:
"What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell"

You can find the complete lyrics here:
