Arrow

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
