The Fool

Gone are the days I'm holding you tight
Gone are the times I thrill with delight
Oh how I've missed you and your tender kiss, I've been a fool too long

I took your love then broke my heart
Can you forgive me, we'll make a new start
Guess life ain't worth living if you ain't giving, I've been a fool to long

I've played the field but could not conceal
The way I feel about you
Everyone guessed I had no happiness, loving you the way I do

You carried my heart around in your hand
Yes I still love you, please understand
Life ain't worth living if you ain't giving, I've been a fool to long
