Music, laughter, those happy ever afters
A promise broken, tears and words unspoken
Some take the song for granted till it's gone

Love sweet magic, the fairy tale turns tragic
Those simple pleasures, are they lost forever
Riding away upon this mem'ry train

Ring the bell and start all over
Forward back to yesterday
When the answer's all too clear
The questions fade away

What kind of fool would leave you lonely
What kind of fool would leave you crying in the night
What drives a man to break the only golden rule
Tell me again, what kind of fool

Confusing, frustrating, I stand here wondrin', waiting
Now have you found love or still believe in our love
Could this romance deserve a second chance

The greatest gift is your forgiveness
Find it in your heart somehow
To strike the chords of yesterday
And start again right now

What kind of fool would leave you lonely
What kind of fool would leave you crying in the night
What drives a man to break the only golden rule
Tell me again, what kind of fool

Feeling so deep, I cry in my sleep
'Cause you're not here lying beside me
Tears of remorse, I'm heading off course
You were the north star to guide me
Some nights I pray by the morning
I'll wake and it's all been a dream

What kind of fool would leave you lonely
What kind of fool would leave you crying in the night
What drives a man to break the only golden rule
Tell me again, what kind of fool
What kind of fool
