Alan Ladd - April Fool Lyrics

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 ditching 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 smokey 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 was 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
