I'm a fool to want youI'm a fool to want youTo

I was five and she was sixWe rode on horses made

I know I said that I was leavingBut I just, couldn't

One afternoon I came to hearYou sing a soft song into

A day in the life of a foolA sad and a

better watch out, you better not cryYou better not pout,

Tell her you love her each dayYou'll make her happy that

you desire meSo shall I come to youHowe'er you

Daisy is darling, Iris is sweetLily is lovely, Blossom's a treatOf

These are the bluesNothing but bluesOh, they say some people long

wants to be a flashy flunkies

see a pair of laughing eyesAnd suddenly your sighing

got you under my skinI've got you deep in the

took each word she said as gospel truthThe way a

torch I carry is handsomeIt's worth its heartache in ransomAnd

I was seventeen, it was a very good yearIt

Oh, by Jove and by Jehovah, you have set my heart

I should careI should go around weepingI should careI should go

They told me you'd leave me all alone and blueAnd it

Love isn't just for the youngIt's for all who may wish
