I`m just a fool for april
There`s nothing more to say
Long as i can remember
She`s led my heart astray
When i was green as willow
She had me ditchin` school
And even then she tricked me
I`m just an april fool
She tangles dogwood blossoms
Into her yellow hair
She uses the same perfume
The smoky mountains wear
She keeps the flame of summer
`round her neck like a jewel
She breezes in to see me
And i`m an april fool
She entrances me and she dances me
And she flies me like a kite
And i soon forget she`s only come to play
Then there comes a day when she will not stay
And i lie awake all night
Hoping next time april may
When i walked out this morning
April had up and gone
And it clear as water
She`d only led me on
And it will be next winter
Before my heels will cool
And then i will forgive her
I`m just an april fool
She knows i will forgive her
I`m just an april fool
