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
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
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
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
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
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)
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
He was a poor damn fool
