That much a fool

Remember the summer we stood in the rain
Counting the cars on the Southern bound train
And just for a moment our gaze it would meet
Lips just an instant from kisses so sweet.

Well what ever happened as you turned away
And I never thought of the right things to say
So many times I have thought of the kiss
We never shared now you're telling me this.

You could have fooled me I had no idea
You were so very in love with me, dear
You did not show it and now it seems cruel
You could have fooled me I'm that much a fool.

Now you were a brother, a friend, and a man
Who I thought I knew like the back of my hand
And now you're here waitin' your eyes wet with tears
Confessing a love after so many years.

You could have fooled me I had no idea
You were so very in love with me, dear
You did not show it and now it seems cruel
You could have fooled me I'm that much a fool.

Well I waited and wondered
What seems like a lifetime and then
I love you like a brother
And cherished you so as a friend.

Remember the winter when you went away
Something inside of me died on that day
And now I am married I play by the rules
I cannot go with you I'm that much a fool.

You could have fooled me I had no idea
You were so very in love with me, dear
You did not show it and now it seems cruel
You could have fooled me I'm that much a fool.
