Gone are the days i'm holding you tight
Gone are the times i thrill with delight
Oh how i've missed you and your tender kiss
I've been a fool too long

I've been a fool to long
I've played the field but could not conceal
The way i feel about you
Everyone guessed i had no happiness

Life ain't worth living if you are not giving
I've been a fool to long
