Being in Love

作曲 : Wilson

Being in love

Used to be my favorite dream

Oh, yes

I've been in love

More than anybody else has

I guess

My first love

Heroically ran the streetcar

I tingled at every clang-clang

Next I fell for the principal

But, oh, that teacher who sang

In the Gloaming

Knee-deep in love

What a lovely dream and yet somehow

Me deep in love's only half of what

I'm longing for now

I still love my being in love with someone

But tell me why couldn't there be

Somebody being in love

With me?

All I want is a plain man

All I want is a modest man

A quiet man

A gentle man

A straightforward and honest man

To sit with me

In a cottage somewhere

In the state of lowa

And I would like him to be

More interested in me

Than he is in himself

And more interested in us

Than in me

And if occasionally he'd ponder

What makes Shakespeare

And Beethoven great

Him I could love till I die

Him I could love

Till I die

Being in love

What a lovely dream and yet

Somehow

Being in love's

Only half of what I'm longing for now

And so then

Tonight I'll be in there dreaming

And hoping that someday there'll be

Just once!

Somebody being in love

With me
