Richard Rodgers
I Wish I Were in Love Again
[Verse 1]
The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
[Verse 2]
The broken dates, the endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates
The conversations with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again
[Chorus 1]
No more pain
No, no more strain
Now I'm sane
But I'd rather be punch drunk
[Verse 3]
The flying fur of cat and cur
The fine mismatching of a him and her
I've learned my lesson but I wish I were
In love again
[Verse 4]
The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
The words I love you 'til the day I die
The self-deception that believes that lie
I wish I were in love again
[Verse 5]
When love congeals, it soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals
The double-crossing of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again
[Chorus 2]
No more care
No more despair
Now I'm all there
But I'd rather be punch drunk
[Verse 6]
Believe me sir, I much prefer
The classic battle of a him and her
I don't like quiet and I wish I were
In love again
In love again
