I Wish I Were in Love Again: Activies
Were
you right about the things the singer misses? Check with
the words below.
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!
The furtive sight
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!
