What A Fool
So it seems
That you and me
Said too much
Made a scene
But I thought that you
Belonged to me
What a fool I was
When I saw you at
the field’s edge on
the farm you worked out on the
northern ridge
I asked you where
Your parents lived
What a fool I was
What a fool
I must’ve been
What a fool
to think that I
Could keep you warm
If you were cold
If you were hot
To satisfy
I made for her
A daisy chain
A symbol of
My trust to gain
Might as well have
danced for rain
What a fool I was
Soft of speech
Fair and mild
Life was hers
for a while
But daisy chains
Are foolish things
That fall apart
What a fool
I must have been
What was I thinking
You’re such a sweet
defiant child
And I’m just a fool
for your smile
Oh I know
You’re too young for me
But you look so good
Beneath the apple tree
Where we watch the blossoms
falling free
Free as fools
in love
Oh I hope
That you recall
With kindness how
I fooled them all
To fall for you
Before they knew
What a fool I was
What a fool
I must’ve been
Who was I trying to kid
You were right
I was wrong
now I’m a fool
You were right
I was wrong
And now I’m a fool
All alone
Just a fool
Left alone
Yes I’m a fool
All alone
