FOOLS LIKE US

words by fowler
music by fowler, olderman & katz

Once upon a Michelangelo
Fools would fall in love with just a glance
Women came and women they would go
And poetry was wasted on romance

The night, a lighted candle
A strand of pearls a velvet glove
Beware o heart beware of what you gamble
‘Cause fools like us we fall in love

Once upon a lonely Romeo
Love crashed down just like the setting sun
Time moved on and everybody knows
Youth of course is wasted on the young

A vase a dozen roses
A glass of wine a drop of blood
Beware o heart beware the many poses
‘Cause fools like us we fall in love

Fools who wish and fools who wonder why
Fools remember words to lullabies
And the myths of dreams like old familiar friends
Echoes of these ancient memories
Calling out to fools like you and me
To come home again come home.....

Once upon ‘a long and winding road’
‘Yesterday’s we thought would never end
Songs were sung to help us ease the load
And we still sing them time and time again

The moon, an open window
A blue guitar the stars above
Beware o heart a warm and gentle wind blows
And fools like us we fall in love

Chorus

Once upon a Michelangelo - Fools would fall in love with just a glance
