| All the big fools in town got together
|
| Every hopeless lovin' heart I know was there
|
| We all sat around and told our own best story
|
| Then they made me the big fool of the year
|
| Oh, they gave to me a little golden statue
|
| Of the torch that I carried for you, dear
|
| They said no one else could even come close to me
|
| And that I was the big fool of the year
|
| I’ll put mine up beside
|
| Any foolish love in town
|
| 'Cause there’s none can hold a light
|
| To this torch I carried round
|
| I can’t say I’m to proud of the honor
|
| But then I guess I do deserve it, dear
|
| For to love you after all you’ve made me suffer
|
| Surely makes me the big fool of the year
|
| Yes, you’ve made me the big fool of the year… |
