My Foolish Heart Lyrics
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss
For your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss, oh yeah
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart
A cautionary tale about, what else, love, by Victor Young & Ned Washington, this 1949 tune reminds the person not to believe their heart since previous fascinations have led to disaster. In the last analysis, the kiss informs the person that this time it's not enchantment, but love.
