Fool for Love [Requiem pour un fou] lyrics

[Johnny:]

I'm coming out with my angel,

Put down your guns and I'll...confess.

I loved her more than life itself,

My angel in a pale blue dress.

But if you want to shoot, then shoot,

I'd welcome an eternal sleep.

No man has ever felt a love,

So deep.

[Michael:]

I took her life, her tender life,

I couldn't bear to think that she,

Could laugh and love and give herself,

To any other man than me.

So if my world would end tonight,

I will not cry...I do not care.

I'll meet her in another life,

Somewhere.

[Chorus]

[Johnny and Michael:]

I was a fool, a fool for love,

A fool who believed, that she came from above.

I'll stay a fool, until I die,

She was my world, my breath, my sky.

I'm just a fool, who lost all control,

Along with my soul.

In time the fool, becomes a clown,

And you all laugh, as I fall down.

[Michael:]

I'll never be at peace again,

I'll never feel her warm caress,

I'll leave each day just thinking of,

My angel in a pale blue dress.

[Johnny:]

And when her body's in the ground,

Make sure you save a space for me,

For that's the only place, I long to be.

[Chorus]
