Being In Love
Meredith Willson
Being in love used to be my fav’rite dream Oh yes I’ve been in love more than anybody else has I guess My first love heroic’ly ran the streetcar I tingled at ev’ry clang clang Next I fell for the principal But oh that teacher who sang "In the Gloamin’." 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? Being in love used to be my fav’rite dream Oh yes I’ve been in love more than anybody else has I guess My first love heroic’ly ran the streetcar I tingled at ev’ry clang clang Next I fell for the principal But oh that teacher who sang "In the Gloamin’." 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 some day I’ll see *just once!* Somebody being in love with me.
