Fool's Hope

[Intro] [piano solo] [guitar] On the bustling street, he sees her smile, But it's a bitter reminder of his heart's exile, He longs to speak, but his courage fades, She walks away, like a for-gotten sar-ah-nade [chorus] He's a fool for hoping, a fool for dreaming, Every glance, every touch, it leaves him bleeding, But he can't help but hold on, can't help but believe, That someday she'll see him, and she'll never leave. At the party, he watches from afar, Enthralled by her laughter, though it feels so far, He forces a smile, masking his gloom, But inside, he's crumbling, consumed by doom. He knows he should move on, he knows he should let go, (oooh o ooooh) But he's trapped in this cycle of highs and lows, Every rejection, every cold shoulder, Only makes him love her more, makes him bolder. [saxophone solo] [chorus] He's a fool for hoping, a fool for dreaming, Every laugh, every joke, it leaves him screaming, But he can't help but hold on, can't help but believe, That someday she'll notice him, and she'll never leave. [outro] In the silence of the night, he lays awake, Haunted by the memories, unable to shake, He'll keep hoping, keep dreaming, until the end, For even a fool's hope is better than nothing, my friend.
