Fools of Paradise Songtext
von Don McLean

You took me up to heaven
Oh, when you took me in your arms
I was dazzled by your beauty
Blinded by your charms
I was lost in a fool′s paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
Well, when you told me that you loved me
And I gave my heart to you
Oh, well, I wondered
If there could be any truth in love so new
I was lost in a fool′s paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
The whole world was my kingdom
And your love, the gem in my crown
But when I saw you glance at a new romance
You know my love came tumbling down
Oh well, you treat me a kinda coolish


And you never let me know
That you think I'm being foolish
Because I love you so
I′ll still get lost in a fool′s paradise
Good and lost in a fool's paradise
Well, the whole world was my kingdom
And your love, the gem in my crown
But when I saw you glance at a new romance
You know my love came tumbling down
Oh, you know you treat me a kinda coolish
And you never let me know
Oh, that you think I′m being foolish
Because I love you so
I'll still get lost in a fool′s paradise
Lost with you in a fool's paradise
Yes, I′ll still get lost in a fool's paradise
So doggone lost in a fool's paradise
