Richard Rodgers
I Wish I Were In Love Again
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
The broken dates, the endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates
The conversation with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again
No more pain
No more strain
Now I'm sane but
I would rather be punch drunk
The pulled out fur of cat and cur
The fine mismating of a him and her
I've learned my lesson but I wish I were in love again
The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
The words "I love you 'til the day I die"
The self deception that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again
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
No, no more care
No, no despair
Now I'm all there now
But I'd rather be punch drunk
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
In love again
