Arrow de Cheryl Wheeler

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
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
maybe these dreams are leading me
maybe love is not as gentle as my memory
maybe time and wishful half-remembered fantasy are the greatest part

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
