Fool’s Gold Songtext
von Lee Greenwood

(Timmy Tappan/Don Roth)

If I only knew then what I know now
You wouldn′t be sayin' goodbye
But I let you down, I was never around
When you needed me there by your side
I took a perfect love & gave you a perfect heartache
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...


CHORUS:
Fool′s gold, and I was a fool 'cause I let you go
Fool's gold, yes I was a fool ′cause I didn′t know
Too many times I just didn't try
Now all I hear is you sayin′ goodbye
Starin' at an empty hand full of fool′s gold

If I'd spent the time just holdin′ you tight
& sharin' my feelings with you
Then you'd understand what′s inside of this man
& you′d know what I'm goin′ through
I know that I was wrong now that it's too late
I took a band of gold & made a 24-carat mistake
& turned it into...

(chorus)
