My Foolish Heart

My foolish heart knows not what I do When midday melded into twilit skies Silver sparks twinkling in the blue My foolish heart set on dusky eyes When midday melded into twilit skies Was it the white light of the moon My foolish heart set on dusky eyes Was it the charming note in the tune Was it the white light of the moon When eye met you and you met eye Was it the charming note in the tune Ever since fate happened to walk by When eye met you and you met eye To fall in love, foolishly, with it all Ever since fate happened to walk by Knowing autumn was the season to fall To fall in love, foolishly, with it all Was not the imagination running wild Knowing autumn was the season to fall Was not the fascination of a child Was not the imagination running wild How it was so, I could never explain Was not the fascination of a child Never to be cooled by a September rain How it was so, I could never explain Fueled perhaps by the fire in the trees Never to be cooled by a September rain Orange leaves tumbling to their knees Fueled perhaps by the fire in the trees Not the stuff of love poems and rhyme Orange leaves tumbling to their knees The magic had been there all the time Not the stuff of love poems and rhyme Silver sparks twinkling in the blue The magic had been there all the time My foolish heart knows not what I do Inspired by the songs... "My Foolish Heart" & "September In The Rain", by Frank Sinatra
