Be That Fool
I've been thinking about true love
Lately
Wondering if I'll ever find it.
I've been daydreaming about you
Lately
Hoping you'll someday find me.
I just wanted you to know
I've never seen eyes more kind
Than your eyes
I've never heard a voice more welcoming
Than your voice
And
Dare I say
I'm terribly afraid
That your heart's spoken for
That you don't see me that way
That someone better and much, much prettier
Will come skipping along.
I've been trying to distract myself
But my mind just comes right back to you
I keep coming back to you.
And I've seen your wandering gaze.
I've seen your eyes
--your lovely eyes--
lingering on me
And I can't help but smile
And hope
And wish, wish, wish
On every twinkling star.
I hope you know what you're doing to me,
Turning me into a sentimental, superstitious fool,
Making me smile like an idiot,
Making me sing like some crazy mockingbird,
Making and breaking my heart
Every time you look at me.
Every
Single
Time.
I wish I could tell you.
I wish I had some way to let you know
How I feel.
I wish I had some way to tell
How you feel,
If I really want to know.
But until then
I'm willing to be that fool
I'm willing to wear that idiotic smile
I'm willing to sing that crazy song
If only
To see your lingering eyes
On me.
