Off to work with no kiss of goodbye
Wear a smile on my face but I lie
Cup of coffee at the corner cafe
Catch the bus read the news on my way

Go through motions the whole morning through
Start a day in the life of a fool
Sometimes I dial our number and hope she’ll return
But there’s never an answer
Guess I’ll never learn

Hurry home after my work is through
Check the mailbox no letter from you
Then I rush up the stairs to my memories of you
That’s a day in the life of a fool

Yes. I rush up the stairs to my memory of you
That’s a day in a life of a fool
