I Wish I Could Fall in Love Again
Jan Howard · Jan Howard [Wrangler] [1962]
And feel the way I always used to do
I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you.
I know it's all over between us
And you're happy with someone new
And I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you.
Oh, I know it's all over between us
And you're happy with someone new
And I wish I could fall in love again
Then maybe I'd fall out of love with you...
