Fool`s Gold — текст песни (Lee Greenwood)

(Timmy Tappan/Don Roth)

If I only knew then what I know now
You wouldn`t be sayin` goodbye
But I let you down, I was never around
When you needed me there by your side
I took a perfect love & gave you a perfect heartache
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...

CHORUS:
Fool`s gold, yes I was a fool `cause I let you go
Fool`s gold, yes I was a fool `cause I didn`t know
Too many times I just didn`t try
Now all I hear is you sayin` goodbye
Starin` at an empty hand full of fool`s gold

If I`d spent the time just holdin` you tight
& sharin` my feelings with you
Then you`d understand what`s inside of this man
& you`d know what I`m goin` through
I know that I was wrong now that it`s too late
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...

(chorus)
