I WAS A FOOL (TO LET YOU GO) 
(Lyrics : Marty Panzer / Music: Barry Manilow)
Barry Manilow


After I've had my last cigarette 
When the night is as black as the night's gonna get 

Well, I'm still wide awake cause I still can't forget 
I was a fool to let you go 
And after I've closed the bar with the boys 
Though I can't stand the drinks and I can't stand the noise 
When I know I'll be back 'cause there's no other choice 
I know I was a fool to let you go 

I was a fool to think 
That I could sleep a wink 
In this big empty bed by myself 
And I was a fool to wait 
Until it was too late 
To tell you just how I felt 
And after I've been with somebody new 
And she knows what to say
Ah but not what to do 
Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true 
I know I was a fool to let you go 
And after I've been with somebody new 
And she knows what to say 
Ah but not what to do 
Then I know what I've lost and I know it's so true 
When I see what it cost and what I'm going through 
I know I was a fool 
I was a fool to let you go
