The Wisdom Of A Fool Lyrics

THE WISDOM OF A FOOL 

WRITERS ROY ALFRED, ABNER SILVER



If you’re lucky enough

To have someone who loves you

Then be glad that you got

Someone who loves you

Cold lips that were warm

Can grow cool

Listen to the wisdom of a fool

When you take his poor heart

And you do something to it

And you think to yourself

Why did I do it

You may find that the

World can be cruel

Listen to the wisdom of a fool

Now I had a love

Just the same as you

And I was a fool

Not to see

But you still have time to say

Your love him

I’m afraid it’s too late for me

So, go back to the arms

That you know will be waiting

Hold him close in your arms

And be glad that he’s waiting

You’ll be happy

Believe me, if you’ll

Only listen to the wisdom of a fool

Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
