Lyrics

Wish It Felt Like Love
words & music: David Howard Sherman

She takes another swig of beer to circumnavigate her fear
Her inhibitions dropping by the wayside
He?s got a detailed plan of suffering that she?s been busy buffering
as they picnic in the asphalt fields of Bayside.

In this jungle called the city she?s a sapphire she?s so pretty.
He sees her as the end to his confusion
And in her Cinderella plan he was her prince, he was her man
But now she?s not so sure of her conclusion.

And the stars don?t shine, no they?re drowned out by the lights
and the halo of the neon up above
Though they?ve been together through the sweet and stormy weather
Every time they kiss they wish it felt like love.

The morning sun comes up, she pours some coffee in her cup.
She tells herself "I can rise above this boredom."
She?s thinkin? about those men who look at her now & again
She?s doubting all those reasons she ignored ?em.

In this jungle called the city, she?s mired in self-pity.
She?s wondering "Will I wind up just like my mother?"
And her Cinderella man didn?t turn out like she planned.
Now she?s busy looking for another.

And the stars don?t shine, no they?re drowned out by the lights
and the halo of the neon up above
Though they?ve been together through the sweet and stormy weather
Every time they kiss they wish it felt like love.

He goes to sleep at night and just before he shuts the light
He thanks his Lord and Maker for her presence.
He says his little prayer, runs her fingers through her hair
As inwardly she prays for independence.

And the stars don?t shine, no they?re drowned out by the lights
and the halo of the neon up above
Though they?ve been together through the sweet and stormy weather
Every time they kiss they wish it felt like love.
Wish it felt like love
