This Foolish Heart Could Love You

(album: Entre Eux Deux - 2022)

This foolish heart could love you
This foolish heart could oh so easily fall
For in the instant that our eyes should ever happen t'intertwine
Or should your hand fall ever sweetly
Into the precipice of mine

Take care with all the words you tell me
Take care with what your eyes may seem to say
You know poetry and prose are far too easy to compose
And then I'll start believing there's the slightest chance
For some romance
For this foolish heart

Wonderous is what the moment brings
Wonderful, the song the songbird sings
But even though it's wonderful
The evening there, yeah, I should know
There is about to be an end to everything I see

For no sheer amount of moonlight
No sheer amount of stars that shine above
Could sweetly cast a light upon your face
Or ever offer an embrace
This story ends as only friends
With such a foolish heart
