There was a time, a happy time,
          Cm/Eb             D7
I took my heart ...to every party,
D7sus4                  Gm                     Gm/F
        They'd point my way, "How are you to - day?"
                  C7/E             F4        F
"Will you make us laugh, chase our blues a - way?"
F/C   F          Fmaj7                 Cm7/F   F7
Their funny man     ....won't let them down,
        Bb                    Bbm6
No, I'd dance and prance, and be their clown,
     F/C           C          C7     Gm/F              F
That time, a happy time, that even a fool--- learns to love

[Verse 2]
    F                     Am/E
The clown   ...turned a - round,
            Cm/Eb                   D7        D7sus4
And saw her smile,   ...oh, how she loved me,
               Gm                Gm/F
She'd clap her hands, and beg me stay,
            C7/E               F4        F
To make her laugh, to make her life gay,
    F/C       F     Fmaj7             Cm7/F    F7
Who wants the love      ...of all the world,
              Bb                  Bbm6
When here was love in the eyes of just one girl?
     F/C                C         C7     Gm/F              F
That day, that precious day, when even a fool--- learns to love

[Verse 3]
     Am  C7    F        Fmaj7             Cm7/F
But, oh, how I dreamed,       a marvelous dream,
      F7         Bb          Bbmaj7    Bb
Where all of the heavens, or so it had seemed,
     Am7             Gm7                          C
With thunderous ap - plause, looked down from a - bove,
     C/Bb         Am    Am7        Dm   Dm7
On a clown and an angel so much in love,
                  Gm7                    C
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream,
    C7     Gm/F               F
And even a fool---- learns to love

[Verse 4]
     F                    Am/E
That day, ...that hateful day,
                Cm/Eb                   D7    D7sus4
The joke turned stale,  ...the game was over,
               Gm                 Gm/F
Those spiteful words, "Oh, go a - way!
             C7/E                F4          F
Who wants to play?  It's getting late now!"
F/C F      Fmaj7           Cm7/F    F7
My  world,     ...my funny world,

Had lost its mask, and shown a broken heart,
  F/C          C          C7     Gm/F               F
A time, a sour time, when even a fool---- learns to love
