All the big fools in town got together   Every hopeless loving heart I know was there We all sat around and told our own sad stories Then they made me the big fool of the year Oh they gave to me this little golden statue Of the torch that I carry for you dear They said no one else could even come close to me And that I was the big fool of the year I’ll put my love beside any foolish love in town Cause there’s none can hold a light to this torch I carry round I can’t say that I’m too proud of the honor   But then I guess I do deserve it dear For to love you after all you’ve made me suffer Surely makes me the big fool of the year   It surely makes me the big fool of the year
