Remember the summer we sat in the rain

Counting the cars on the Southern bound trains

And just for a moment

 Our gazes would meet

Lips just an instant from kisses so sweet

So what ever happened

You turned away

 And I never thought of the right thing to say

 So many times i have thought of the kiss

We never shared

 Now you?re telling me this

You could have fooled me

 I had no idea

 That you were so very in love with me, dear

You did not show it

 And now it seems cruel

 You could have fooled me

 I?m that much a fool

You were a brother, a friend, and a man

 Who i thought I knew like the back of my hand

Now you?re here waiting

 Your eyes wet with tears

 Confessing a love after so many years

 Well you could have fooled me

 I had no idea

You were so very in love with me, dear

You did not show it

 And now it seems cruel

 You could have fooled me

 I?m that much a fool

(solo-- accordion, guitar, etc.)

 Well i waited

 And wondered

 What seems like a lifetime and then

 i loved you like a brother

 And cherished you so as a friend

Remember the winter you went away

Something inside of me died on that day

And now i am married

 I play by the rules

 I cannot go with you

 I'm that much a fool

But you could have fooled me

 I had no idea

 That you were so very in love with me, dear

You did not show it

 And now it seems cruel

 You could have fooled me

 I?m that much a fool
