A Fool Such As I
Malo Raul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pardon me, if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye
Don't be angry with me, should I cry?
When you're gone yet I dream a little dream as years go by
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
I'm a fool, but I love you dear until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through
I'm a fool but I love you, dear, until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I
