 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...

[Am]  [C]  [D]   [G]

I wish I could [Am]fall [C]in [D]love
Though it o[G]nly leads to trouble, oh I k[C]now it does.
Still I'd [Am]fool myself and gladly just to fe[D]el I was
In [Em]love, [D]in [G]love.

I wish I could f[Am]eel my he[C]artbeat r[D]ise
And ga[G]ze into some gentle warm exc[C]ited eyes,
And give m[Am]yself as truly as an arrow flies [D]
In [Em]windle[D]ss s[G]kies.

[G]Oh, [D]I remember [Em]you in the [A]TV  li[D]ght
Holding you [Am]close to [G]me where we l[D]ay,
[D]And now I wish I k[Em]new some of those s[A]ofter ni[D]ghts
Whispering [Am]quiet[G]ly, feeling you [Am]turn to [D]me.

It was only last n[Am]ight in the wi[C]nter da[D]rk
I dr[G]eamed of how you loved in all your in[C]nocence,
And I've n[Am]ever known a softer warmer f[D]eeling since
Or a [Em]true[D]r he[G]art.

But maybe these dr[Am]eams are le[C]ading [D]me;
Maybe l[G]ove is not as gentle as my me[C]mory;
Maybe t[Am]ime and wishful half-remembered f[D]antasies
Are the g[Em]reate[C]st p[D]art

[G]Oh, [D]I remember [Em]you in the [A]TV  li[D]ght
Holding you [Am]close to [G]me where we l[D]ay,
[D]And now I wish I k[Em]new some of those s[A]ofter ni[D]ghts
Whispering [Am]quiet[G]ly, feeling you [Am]turn to [D]me.

I Wish I could f[Am]eel my he[C]artbeat [D]rise
And g[G]aze into some gentle warm exc[C]ited eyes,
And g[Am]ive myself as truly as an ar[D]row flies
In [Em]windles[C]s sk[D]ies.

Oh, I wish I could f[Am]all[C] in l[D]ove
Though it o[G]nly leads to trouble, oh I kn[C]ow it does.
Still I'd f[Am]ool myself and gladly just to fe[C]el I was
In l[Em]ove [C]in [D]love...
