Lyrics

Love Makes Fools of us All

1. The little boy climbed to the top of the tree,
He sat there and said, I am not coming down,
The girl who I like says she doesn't like me,
and she doesn't want me around.

2. His mother came out and called up to him,
Climb down slowly, and try not to fall,
She said, let this be a lesson for life,
Love makes fools of us all.

3. Love makes fools of us all, dear-
love makes fools of us all,
The young and the old; the timid and bold,
Love makes fools of us all.
4. The man stood in the rain, just to see her again,
And perhaps find a flicker of hope;
He stood there all day, and waited all night,
Till his body could no longer cope.

5. An old woman came by; she saw the man cry,
Slumped with his back to the wall;
She said, don't despair, but life is not fair,
and love makes fools of us all.

6. Love makes fools of us all, dear- love makes fools of us all,
We stand in the rain, and soak up the pain,
Love makes fools of us all.
7. No-one can tell us what love is-
Does it come from the body or soul?
Nobody knows what love is,
But love makes fools of us all.

8. Love makes fools of us all, dear- love makes fools of us all,
The good and the bad, the happy and sad,
Love makes fools of us all.
9. Love makes fools of us all, dear- love makes fools of us all,
The rich and the poor, the uncertain and sure,
Love makes fools of us all.

10. The elderly man placed a single red rose
On the grave of another man's wife,
He said, Yes I know, it is time to let go,
But I've loved her all of my life.

11. Love makes fools of us all, dear- love makes fools of us all,
By choice or through fate, for the sinner and saint,
Love makes fools of us all,
The young and the old; the timid and bold,
The rich and the poor, the uncertain and sure,
The good and the bad, the happy and sad,
Love makes fools of us all,
Love makes fools of us all.
