Foolish Heart - Mary Martin, Mantovani

Will you tell me how these things happen?

Have I trusted in love too much?

When did the magic vanish?

Have I somehow lost my touch?

How gay the world could be

Could I love you, could he love me?

Love shouldn’t be serious, should it?

You meet, you kiss, you start

I fancied that I understood it

I forgot my foolish heart

Love can’t be illogical, can it?

You kiss, you smile, you part

It happens the way that you plan it

If you hush your foolish heart

Poor foolish heart

Crying for one who ignores you

Poor foolish heart

Flying from one who adores you

Ah, love used to touch me so lightly

My heart now betrays me so

I would dance with a new lover nightly

But my foolish heart says no

Ah, love used to touch me so lightly

My heart now betrays me so

I would dance with a new lover nightly

But my foolish heart says no
