Yesterday’s Fool

Peter Mayer/Chris Walters

Sun comes up sun goes down
I’m getting a handle on this crazy town
Emperor of Chinatown
Call me King for a day

But like a love song alarm clock
I see your face come ’round the block
The phone rings and doors knock
Here I go again

Everything changes
Nothing escapes that rule
But when it comes to you
Call me yesterday’s fool

Gave a party for some friends of mine
The biggest names on the whole skyline
We raised our glasses to the bottom line
Chased our cares away

Some stranger said shall we dance
I prefer Picassos to Rembrandts
I’d trade it all for just one chance
To see those eyes again

The wisdom of ages
Thrills me through and through
But when it comes to you
I’m still yesterday’s fool

Memories of a holiday
I wish I could just throw them away
But I love you more with each passing day
What am I to do

Heard the news through a friend of mine
You’re still crazy and doing fine
Call me up drop me a line
Make me smile again

But everything changes
It all comes ‘round brand new
But when it comes to you I’m still
When it comes to you call me
When it comes to you I’m still yesterday’s fool
Yesterdays fool
