Lyrics for Song: I Was a Fool (To Let You Go)
Lyrics for Album: Even Now
After I've had my last cigarette
When the night is as black
As the nights goin' to get
Well I'm still wild awake
Cause I still can't forget
I was a fool, to let you go
And after I've close 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 their'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 and deep bed by myself
And I was a fool to wate ,until it was to late
To tell you just how I felt
And after I've been with somebody new
And she know's what to say
Ah but not what to do
Then I know what I've lost
And I know it's so true
No 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 seen what It caused
And what I'm going through
I know I was a fool
I was a fool to let you go

I Was a Fool (To Let You Go)
Barry Manilow's 'I Was a Fool (To Let You Go)' stands as a poignant song in his extensive catalogue of emotional pop ballads. Released on the 1981 album Even Now, the track captures the artist's signature ability to blend theatrical sentiment with accessible melody. The recording reflects the polished production values that defined Manilow's work during this era, showcasing his vocal control and the lush orchestral arrangements that became a hallmark of his sound. While the album features the enduring hit 'Copacabana (At the Copa),' this song offers a more introspective look at regret and lost love. It remains a testament to Manilow's enduring appeal and his capacity to craft songs that resonate deeply with listeners through sincere musical storytelling. |
