April Fool



                   

You wear your heart on your sleeve



                       

And though they laugh when they leave



                          

You call it Love and I be-lieve (you)







     

April Fool



             

Why must you always play the clown?



                     

You had the edge you laid it down



                         

You give it up without a sound...





         

Oh April Fool



                 

How can they say "love is cruel"?



                        

They catch the ring but drop the jewel.



                     

Like a teardrop in a pool...







Instrumental Break







      

April Fool



                      

As the heart shows through the eyes



                           

Before you were born you were recog-nized



                                

And unto the losers comes their prize.





         

Oh April Fool



                          

Even as the hands were washed, you knew



                      

We'd free the thief instead of you



 

         April  Fool



                    

  You said the Father was in You



                    

You said we know not what we do





Forgive us...April Fool.
