My Foolish Heart

My foolish heart knows not what I do 
When midday melded into twilit skies
Silver sparks twinkling in the blue
My foolish heart set on dusky eyes 

When midday melded into twilit skies 
Was it the white light of the moon 
My foolish heart set on dusky eyes 
Was it the charming note in the tune

Was it the white light of the moon 
When eye met you and you met eye 
Was it the charming note in the tune 
Ever since fate happened to walk by

When eye met you and you met eye 
To fall in love, foolishly, with it all 
Ever since fate happened to walk by 
Knowing autumn was the season to fall 

To fall in love, foolishly, with it all 
Was not the imagination running wild 
Knowing autumn was the season to fall 
Was not the fascination of a child 

Was not the imagination running wild 
How it was so, I could never explain 
Was not the fascination of a child 
Never to be cooled by a September rain 

How it was so, I could never explain 
Fueled perhaps by the fire in the trees 
Never to be cooled by a September rain 
Orange leaves tumbling to their knees 

Fueled perhaps by the fire in the trees 
Not the stuff of love poems and rhyme 
Orange leaves tumbling to their knees 
The magic had been there all the time 

Not the stuff of love poems and rhyme 
Silver sparks twinkling in the blue 
The magic had been there all the time 
My foolish heart knows not what I do
