Even A Fool Learns To Love Lyrics - David Bowie

1 There was a time, the laughing time

2 I took my heart to every party

3 They'd point my way

4 "how are you today? "

5 "will you make us laugh? chase our blues away? "

6 Their funny man won't let them down

7 No, he'd dance and prance and be their clown

8 That time, the laughing time

9 When even a fool learns to love

10 The clown turned around

11 And saw her smile, oh how she loved me

12 She'd clap her hands and beg me stay

13 To make her laugh, to make her life gay

14 Who wants the love of all the world

15 When here was love in the eyes of just one girl

16 That day, that precious day

17 When even a fool learns to love

18 But oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream

19 Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed

20 With thunderous applause looked down from above

21 On a clown and an angel so much in love

22 I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream

23 And even a fool learns to love

24 That day, that hateful day

25 The joke turned stale, the game was over

26 Those spiteful words "oh, go away. who wants to play? "

27 "it's getting late now."

28 My world, my funny world

29 Had lost it's mask and shown a broken heart

30 A time, a sour time

31 When even a fool learns to love

32 But oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream

33 Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed

34 With thunderous applause looked down from above

35 On a clown and an angel so much in love

36 I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream

37 And even a fool learns to love
