Lyrics

A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue
And hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you
Coming my way
I stop just across from your door
But you're never home anymore
So back to my room
And there in the gloom, I cry
Tears of goodbye
Till you come back to me
That's the way it will be
Every day in the life of a fool
Written by: Carl Sigman, Luiz Bonfá
