I Wish I Were in Love Again

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 date, the endless waits,
The lovely loving and the hateful hates,
The conversation with the flying plates,
I wish I were in love again!

No more pain, no more strain,
Now I'm sane, but I would rather be ga-ga!

The pulled out fur of cat and cur,
The fine mismating of a him and her,
I've learned my lesson,
But I wishe I were in love again!

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye,
The words, 'I'll love you till the day I die',
The self-deception that believes the 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 I love again!

No more care, no despair.
I'm all there now, 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 wishe I were in love again!

LORENZ HART (1895-1943)
