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