Even A Fool Learns To Love

            F             Am/E
There was a time, a happy time,
          Cm/Eb             D7
I took my heart ...to every party,
D7sus4                  Gm       
        They'd point my way, "How
              Gm/F
 are you to - day?"
                  C7/E             
"Will you make us laugh, chase our 
F4        F
blues a - way?"
F/C   F          Fmaj7          
Their funny man     ....won't 
       Cm7/F   F7
let them down,
        Bb                    
No, I'd dance and prance, and be 
Bbm6
their clown,
     F/C           C          C7 
That time, a happy time, that 
    Gm/F              F
even a fool--- learns to love

[Verse 2]
    F                     Am/E
The clown   ...turned a - round,
            Cm/Eb                  
And saw her smile,   ...oh, how she
 D7        D7sus4
 loved me,
               Gm                
She'd clap her hands, and beg me 
Gm/F
stay,
            C7/E               F4 
To make her laugh, to make her 
       F
life gay,
    F/C       F     Fmaj7        
Who wants the love      ...of all
     Cm7/F    F7
 the world,
              Bb                  
When here was love in the eyes of 
Bbm6
just one girl?
     F/C                C         
That day, that precious day, when 
C7     Gm/F              F
even a fool--- learns to love

[Verse 3]
     Am  C7    F        Fmaj7   
But, oh, how I dreamed,       a 
          Cm7/F
marvelous dream,
      F7         Bb          
Where all of the heavens, or 
Bbmaj7    Bb
so it had seemed,
     Am7             Gm7          
With thunderous ap - plause, 
                C
looked down from a - bove,
     C/Bb         Am    Am7       
On a clown and an angel so much in
 Dm   Dm7
 love,
                  Gm7            
I'll stay with my dream, it takes 
        C
such a dream,
    C7     Gm/F               F
And even a fool---- learns to love

[Verse 4]
     F                    Am/E
That day, ...that hateful day,
                Cm/Eb              
The joke turned stale,  ...the game
     D7    D7sus4
 was over,
               Gm                 
Those spiteful words, "Oh, go a - 
Gm/F
way!
             C7/E                
Who wants to play?  It's getting 
F4          F
late now!"
F/C F      Fmaj7           
My  world,     ...my funny 
Cm7/F    F7
world,
             Bb                
Had lost its mask, and shown a 
Bbm6
broken heart,
  F/C          C          C7     
A time, a sour time, when even a 
Gm/F               F
fool---- learns to love

[Verse 5]
     Am  C7    F       Fmaj7    
But, oh, how I dreamed,       a 
          Cm7/F
marvelous dream,

looked down from a - bove,
Continues after the ad
     C/Bb         Am    Am7       
On a clown and an angel so much in
 Dm    Dm7
 love,
                  Gm7            
I'll stay with my dream, it takes 
        C
such a dream,
