I Wish I Were In Love Again Lyrics - Tribute To Richard Rodgers - Shirley Jones

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 conversations with the flying plates 

I wish I were in love again 

No more pain 

No no more strain 

Now I'm sane 

But I'd rather be punch drunk 

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 

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 

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 more care 

No more despair 

Now I'm all there 

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
