I wish I could fall in love
But 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

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
Whisperin' quietly, feeling you turn to me

Only last night in a winter dark
I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence
And I never knew a softer, warmer feeling since
Or a truer heart

Maybe these dreams are leading me
Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory
Maybe time and half-remembered fantasy
Are the greatest part

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
Whisperin' quietly, feelin' 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

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 fall in love
