A Fool Such As I
Tommy Edwards Lyrics

In Tommy Edwards's song "A Fool Such as I," the lyrics express a certain emotional and sentimental feeling of someone who has been taught how to love but now has to say goodbye to their lover. The first verse acknowledges that they might get a little emotional (sentimental) and even cry when saying goodbye. However, the person still dreams of their lover years after they have left. Then the chorus continues to say that there is a fool (himself) who is still in love with the person who taught him how to love. Though they may be going their separate ways, the love will not go away, and he will continue to love her until the day he dies. The last two verses repeat the same sentiment as before, emphasizing that "Now and then, there's a fool such as I," and ends with the same line.

The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever loved someone but has had to part ways with them. It's a well-known feeling that many people have experienced, and the song expresses it in a heartfelt and honest way. The melody is soft and soothing, and it complements the lyrics perfectly, creating a song that touches people's heartstrings.
