To Fall in Love Again or Smoke and Mirrors by Mac Glashan

Lyrics

Verse 1
I want to fall in love again. I want to dream and dice.
To laugh and chase and risk and thrill and dance on ice

Refrain:
Smoke and Mirrors/Fingers and Scissors/Snakes and Ladders/Paper and Stone/Love can cut you to the bone.

Verse2
I want to feel the fire again. I want to play the game. To burn and run and stand and smile and here her say my name.

Refrain:- – –

Verse3:
I want to open up again. I want to let love in.
Share the silence of the moment.
Touch the magic of her skin,

Refrain:
Smoke and Mirrors/ Hands and scissors/Snakes and ladders/Paper and Stone/Love can cut and slice you to the bone.
