This started as a country song - this version is my attempt at a bit of soul.
Lyrics
Any Fool (Can Sing A Love Song)
1.
Any fool can sing a love song
Or strum a tune on a guitar
Sing and play through the small hours
Buy you chocolate hearts and flowers
Well honey, here you are
2.
See I didna€™t buy you roses
I know that orchids are your thing
All the buds are yet to open
Honey I was kind of hoping
Theya€™ll blossom when I sing
Chorus:
Any fool can sing a love song
But can they sing it tenderly
It doesna€™t matter anyhow
a€˜Cos this is here and this is now
And this fool just happens to be me
3.
Any fool can buy a diamond
Then get down upon one knee
Promise always to be there
To love and cherish and to care
Can you begin to see?
4.
Why Ia€™m singing you a love song
Why I have learned to play guitar
Why I am kneeling at your side
And asking you to be my bride
Well honey, here you are
Chorus:
Any fool can sing a love song
But can they sing it tenderly
It doesna€™t matter anyhow
a€˜Cos this is here and this is now
And this fool just happens to be me
Bridge:
No, Ia€™m not sophisticated
Ia€™d look stupid trying to play it cool
But Ia€™m proud to walk besides you
And I am proud to call myself your fool
Chorus:
Any fool can sing a love song
But can they sing it tenderly
It doesna€™t matter anyhow
a€˜Cos this is here and this is now
And this fool just happens to be me
