Lyrics and translation Frank Sinatra - Feet of Clay

Feet of Clay

(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)

Her eyes were softer than the night, her lips were honey and wine

Your eyes were softer than the night, your lips like honey and wine

And oh I love her more than life, I worship this love of mine.

And oh, I loved you more than life, I worshipped this love of mine.

(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)

I worshipped her so blindly till I was told one day,

I worshipped you so blindly until the truth was revealed one day,

For love of gold, my true love sold, sold her heart away.

For the love of gold, my true love, you sold your heart away.

(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)

The love that I had idolized has sold her heart away,

Too late, too late, I realized my idol had feet of clay.

(Oo oo oo oo oo oo, ee)

(Oo oo oo oo oo, ee)
