Even A Fool Learns To Love
David Bowie
Verso 1 There was a time a happy time I took my heart ...to every party They’d point my way "How are you to - day?" "Will you make us laugh chase our blues a - way?" Their funny man ....won’t let them down No I’d dance and prance and be their clown That time a happy time that even a fool--- learns to love! Verso 2 The clown ...turned a - round And saw her smile ...oh how she loved me She’d clap her hands and beg me stay To make her laugh to make her life gay Who wants the love ...of all the world When here was love in the eyes of just one girl? That day that precious day when even a fool--- learns to love! Verso 3 But oh how I dreamed a marvelous dream Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed With thunderous ap - plause looked down from a - bove On a clown and an angel so much in love I’ll stay with my dream it takes such a dream And even a fool---- learns to love! Verso 4 That day ...that hateful day The joke turned stale ...the game was over Those spiteful words "Oh go a - way! Who wants to play? It’s getting late now!" My world ...my funny world Had lost its mask and shown a broken heart A time a sour time when even a fool---- learns to love! Verso 5 But oh how I dreamed a marvelous dream Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed With thunderous ap - plause looked down from a - bove On a clown and an angel so much in love I’ll stay with my dream it takes such a dream And even a fool---- learns to love!
