I would like to walk out in the park with you Pretending that you love me for a while That's the dream I have that never can come true My my foolish child I would like to sit beneath the tree with you To learn the hidden secrets of your smile That's one thing I guess I'll never get to do, no, My my foolish child Foolish child to think that I was strong enough To fall in love and not have to pay the price Foolish child to think that I was wrong enough But not so foolish you had to tell me twice If I told you all the things I'd like to say Would you laugh at words you thought were mine Whisper as you gently brush my tears away, would you say Don't cry foolish child You're my foolish child Foolish child to think that I was strong enough To fall in love and not have to pay the price Foolish child to think that I was wrong enough But not so foolish you had to tell me twice If I told you all the things I'd like to say Would you laugh at words you thought were mine Whisper as you gently brush my tears away, would you say Don't cry foolish child You're my foolish child
