I wish I could fall in love

Though it only leads to trouble, oh, I know it does

Still, I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was

In love, in love

I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

And gaze into some gentle, warm, excited eyes

And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

In windless skies

Oh, I remember you in the TV light

Holding you close to me where we lay

And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me

It was only last night in the winter dark

I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence

And I've never known a softer, warmer feeling since

Or a truer heart

But maybe these dreams are leading me

Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory

Maybe tired and wishful half-remembered fantasies

Are the greatest part

Oh, but I remember you in the TV light

Holding you close to me where we lay

And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me

Wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

And gaze into some gentle, warm, excited eyes

And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

In windless skies

Oh, I wish I could fall in love

Though it only leads to trouble, oh, I know it does

Still, I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was

In love
