The Face I Love
Marcos Valle & Stacey Kent Feat. Jim Tonlimsom - www.musicasparabaixar.org Lyrics

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
I miss the passion that comes with staying up late fighting and making up with someone I love.

The quick toboggan, when you reach the heights
I miss the excitement of experiencing a new high with someone special, even if it's a brief one.

I miss the kisses, and I miss the bites
I miss the passionate moments with someone I loved, from the tender kisses to the playful biting.

I wish I were in love again
I yearn for the feeling of being in love again, despite the complications that come with it.

The broken dates, the endless waits
Although frustrating, I miss the spontaneity of broken plans and the thrill of waiting for someone you're smitten with.

The lovely loving, and the hateful hates
I miss the juxtaposition of the good and bad times in a relationship, the highs and the lows, the love and the fights.

The conversation, with the flying plates
I miss the intensity of arguments and the explosive moments that come with it, the passion that often leads to make up sex.

I wish I were in love again
Again and again, I can't help but long for the feeling of falling in love, whatever the cost.

No more pain, no more strain
Although I'm content on my own, I find the lack of drama and challenges to be rather boring.

Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punched, drunk
I may be mentally stable now, but I miss the recklessness, impulsiveness, and carelessness that comes with falling madly in love.

The pulled out fur, of cat and cur
Even the ugliest, messiest, dirtiest parts of a relationship are preferable to me than being alone.

The fine mismating, of a him and her
I find the incompatibilities of two people in love to be more fulfilling than the boring safety net of being single.

I've learned my lesson, but I wish I were
Despite past heartaches and harsh lessons learned, I still desire the experience of being in love again.

In love again
It's a simple sentiment, but it encompasses my deepest desire regardless of the past mistakes and misgivings.

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
I recall the passionate moments alongside the violent encounters, from loving embraces to physical altercations.

The words, "I love you, 'til the day I die"
The proclamations of eternal love, no matter how unrealistic, are more fulfilling to me than the lack of passion that comes with solitude.

The self deception, that believes the lie
Even if it's all a lie, I prefer the self-deception that comes with being in love over the bleak truth of not having a partner at all.

I wish I were in love again
I continue to wish upon a star for that feeling of being in love once more, no matter how difficult or painful the journey may be.

When love congeals, it soon reveals
Even when love falls apart and fades away, it becomes all too apparent the passion that once was.

The faint aroma, of performing seals
It's the little things that remind me of the love I once had, like the scent of a familiar perfume or the sound of a particular song.

The double-crossing, of a pair of heels
Betrayal and heartbreak are far worse than the pain that comes with trying again and again to find love.

I wish I were in love again
Despite the heartaches and hardships, I can't help but crave the feeling of falling in love once more.

No, no more care, no, no despair
Without love in my life, there's no care, no passion, and no deep connection that I long for so desperately. But with this desolation comes no more despair either.

Now I'm all there (now), but I'd rather be punch-drunk
Even though I'm present, clear-headed, and aware, I would give it all away to fall again into the thrilling madness that comes with love at first sight.

Believe me sir, I much prefer
I understand the foolishness and the pain that comes with loving someone, but I can't help but prefer it to the emptiness of solitude.

The classic battle, of a him and her
It's the challenge of two people from different places and times coming together to make love work that makes it all worth it in the end.

I don't like quiet, and I wish I were
In the end, the chaos and passion of love is preferable to the dull and quiet that comes with a life without it.

In love again, in love again, in love again
No matter how the previous attempts at love end, no matter how many heartbreaks and hardships are faced, I will always long to feel the love I once had once more.
