Arrow

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 tired and wishful half-remembered fantasies
Are the greatest part

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

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
