To be in love again, the greatest thrill of all
Just to remember when I fell that wondrous fall
The more I fall to love’s planned schemes, the more I see you in my dreams
To be in love again is as it seems

To be in loving arms one to hold you tight
The splendor of your charms tells me that it’s right
The more I wish it to be true, the more I can’t get over you
To be in love again, in love with you

Miles apart from thoughts of heart, and still I think of you
Love is just for those who lust, as I yearn just for you

To be in love again, the greatest thrill of all
Just to remember, when I fell that wondrous fall
The more I wish it to be true, the more I can’t get over you
To be in love again, in love with you
