Lyrics
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there’s a chance for me then I don’t care
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love so how are they to know
When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
When we met I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
