| Intro: Am C D Gmaj7 |
| Am | C | D | |
| I wish I could | fall | in | love |
| Gmaj7 | C | C/B | |
| Though it | only leads to trouble, oh I | know it does. |
| Am | Am/G | D | |
| Still I'd | fool myself and | gladly just to | feel I was |
| Em | D | G | |
| 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. |
| G | D | Em | A7 | D | |
| Oh, | I remember | you in the | TV | light |
| Am | G | D | |
| Holding you | close to | me where we | lay, |
| D | Em | A7 | D | |
| And now I | wish I | knew some of those | softer | nights |
| Am | G | Am | D | |
| Whispering | quiet | ly, 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 |
| Or the greatest heart. |
| Oh, 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 |
| 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. |
