My Foolish Heart
Words & Music by Ned Washington & Victor YoungRecorded by Mel Torme, 1985
A F#m
The night is like a lovely tune --
D9 E7
Beware my foolish heart!
AM7 F#m
How white the ever distant moon --
D9 E7
Take care, my foolish heart!
A AM7 A7
There's a line between love and fascination,
D DM7 D6 Fdim
That's so hard to see on evenings such as this;
F#m F#m+7 F#m7
For they both give the very same sensation.
D9 Bm7-5 E7
When you are lost in the magic of a kiss.
A F#m
Her lips are much too close to mine --
D9 E7
Beware my foolish heart!
AM7 F#m
But should our eager lips combine,
D9 A7/6
Then let the fire start.
E7 F#m F#m+7 F#m7 Dm6
For this time it isn't fascination,
A AM7 F#7
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart.
D B7 D9 Bm7-5 A AM7/6
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart!
