Intro

 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 time and wishful half-remembered fantasies

 Are the greatest part

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.

 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 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...
