Once there was a kiss A kiss made of gold Made of lover's gold Because the kiss was true Once there was a fool Who shared this lover's gold But, just like a fool Its worth she never knew Now she walks alone and broken hearted For you've heard it told A fool and his gold Are soon parted Saddest thing of all About the tale I've told Is that I'm the fool Who wasted lover's gold Now she walks alone and broken hearted For you've heard it told A fool and his gold Are soon parted Saddest thing of all About the tale I've told Is that I'm the fool Who wasted lover's gold
