A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long, lonely day
I walk the avenue
And hope I run into
The welcome sight of you coming my way

I'll stop just across from your door
But, you're never home anymore
So there, in my room
And there, in my gloom
I'll cry, tears of goodbye

Till you come back to me
That's the way it will be
Everyday in the life of a fool

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FOOL
Sinatra Version
Recorded February 20, 1969
Arranger: Don Costa
Music: Luiz Bonfa - Words: Antonio Mariz (Carl Sigman-EL)



A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long, lonely day
I walk the avenue
And hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you coming my way

I'll stop just across from your door
But, you're never home anymore
So back to my room
And there in the gloom
I'll cry tears of goodbye

So back to my room
And there in the gloom
I'll cry tears of goodbye
