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
