My Foolish Heart

My Foolish Heart

music by Victor Young (above)

lyric by Ned Washington (top l-r: Alfred Newman, Ned Washington, Dimitri Tiomkin, Walt Disney)

The scene is set for dreaming, love's knocking at the door,

But, oh, my heart, I'm reluctant to start, for we've been fooled before...

The night is like a lovely tune, beware my foolish heart.

How white the ever constant moon, take care my foolish heart.

There's a line between love and fascination,

That's hard to see on an evening such as this,

For they both give the very same sensation,

When you're lost in the magic of a kiss.

Her lips are much too close to mine, beware my foolish heart,

But should our eager lips combine, then let the fire start.

For this time it isn't fascination, or a dream that will fade and fall apart,

It's love, this time it's love my foolish heart...
