Even A Fool Learns To Love lyrics

There was a time, the laughing timeI took my heart to every partyThey’d point my wayHow are you today? Will you make us laugh? chase our blues away? Their funny man won’t let them downNo, he’d dance and prance and be their clownThat time, the laughing timeWhen even a fool learns to loveThe clown turned aroundAnd saw her smile, oh how she loved meShe’d clap her hands and beg me stayTo make her laugh, to make her life gayWho wants the love of all the worldWhen here was love in the eyes of just one girlThat day, that precious dayWhen even a fool learns to loveBut oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dreamWhere all of the heavens or so it had seemedWith thunderous applause looked down from aboveOn a clown and an angel so much in loveI’ll stay with my dream, it takes such a dreamAnd even a fool learns to loveThat day, that hateful dayThe joke turned stale, the game was overThose spiteful words oh, go away. who wants to play? It’s getting late now.My world, my funny worldHad lost it’s mask and shown a broken heartA time, a sour timeWhen even a fool learns to loveBut oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dreamWhere all of the heavens or so it had seemedWith thunderous applause looked down from aboveOn a clown and an angel so much in loveI’ll stay with my dream, it takes such a dreamAnd even a fool learns to love
