Big Fool of the Year

All the big fools in town got together

Every hopeless lovin' heart I know was there

We all sat around and told our own best story

Then they made me the big fool of the year.Oh, they gave to me a little golden statue

Of the torch that I carried 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 mine up beside

Any foolish love in town

'Cause there's none can hold a light

To this torch I carried round.I can't say I'm to 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.
