Off to work with no kiss of goodbye Wear a smile on my face but I lie Cup of coffee at the corner cafe Catch the bus read the news on my way Go through motions the whole morning through Start a day in the life of a fool Sometimes I dial our number and hope she'll return But there's never an answer Guess I'll never learn Hurry home after my work is through Check the mailbox no letter from you Then I rush up the stairs to my memories of you That's a day in the life of a fool Yes. I rush up the stairs to my memory of you That's a day in a life of a fool
