Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're a livin' walkin' dream You're the best I've ever seen Oh God, I wanted you I've often dreamed what I would do If I could give myself to you Oh God, I wanted to But up 'til now you've not been free to be Foolin' around with the likes of me But it's changed now, though it's strange how He's the one that arranged it now [Chorus] But he's a poor damned fool 'Cause he went and let you go now Just a poor damned fool He never will know now Maybe someday he'll be sad I say that that's too bad He, he never knew how much he had And I'm glad I got you now [Verse 2] Yes, I've had my ups and downs As I've been rambling around And I'll be candid I could not believe my eyes When I finally realized Just what that man did Yes, I have heard 'bout finders keepers And how the losers are the weepers, that's okay I know it's my lucky day But still I just got to say [Chorus] That he's a poor damned fool 'Cause he went and let you go now Just a poor damned fool He never will know now Maybe someday he'll be sad I say that's too bad He, he never knew how much he had And I'm glad I got you now [Bridge] You know how I'd love to hear you say You're glad that it worked out this way And you'll forget about yesterday 'Cause you feel so good It's worked out real good You know you make me feel so good [Verse 3] When I was tryin' to find a way to cope With busted dreams, fallen hopes But he made a way And now his misfortune is my gain Though I know it gives you pain It'll fade away Yes, you will find that as the years roll by The memories of the times you cried Will be laid away Yes, they'll fade away, they will fade away (Fade away) [Chorus] And you'll forget that poor damned fool 'Cause he went and let you go now Just a poor damned fool He never will know now Maybe someday he'll be sad I say that that's too bad He, he never knew how much he had I'm glad I got you now [Outro] He was a poor damn fool
