Somewhere there should be
For all the world to see,
A statue of a fool,
made of stone.
The image of a man,
Who let love
Slip through his hands.
And then
just let him stand there
all alone.
And there on his face,
a gold tear should be placed,
To honor
the million tears.... he's cried.
And the hurt
in his eyes would show,
So everyone would know,
That concealed
is a broken heart inside.
So build me a statue,
And Lord,
build it high,
So that all can see.
Then inscribe,
"The World's Greatest Fool."
And name it after me.
After me.
