Fool Hearted Memory

Nickels and dimes,
memories and wines,
she's on his mind once again.
The same old stool,
the same old fool;
played by the rules,
but didn't win.
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.
He tried forgettin',
but he knows that it's no use.
He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see
that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory,
And he sits patiently,
here every night so it can fool him more.
She was his girl,
his only whirl,
that string of pearls that slipped away.
A thousand dimes,
a thousand times
he doesn't mind what they say.
He fills the jukebox,
and plays the same old song.
He fills his glass,
and then he turns her memory on.
But it's a fool hearted memory.
it won't let him see
that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory.
And he sits patiently,
here every night so it can fool him more.
It's a fool hearted memory.
it won't let him see
that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory.
And he sits patiently,
here every night so it can fool him more.
