FOOLISH TEARS
Carson

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Gordon Jenkins & his Orch  
Sep 21st 1949 New York


Foolish tears, stop falling, please do,
You're breaking my heart in two!

Foolish tears, oh foolish tears stop falling, (stop falling)
You know you can't bring him back to me!
Foolish tears, why do you keep recalling (recalling)
The days in the happy used-to-be?

He never could believe I really love him,
He knows I wasn't true to him before!
Foolish tears, why go on thinking of him?
You know we're not wanted any more!

Foolish tears, why do you dim my vision?
You're causing my heart to brak in two!
He's already made his own decision,
And no-one should know it more than you!

Why do you keep reminding me about him?
Must I go on remembering through the years?
Can't you see we must live on without him?
Please help me forget him, foolish tears!

Foolish tears, stop falling, please do,
You're breaking my heart in two!
