Can't you show me something I've not seen before
Magic tricks and pirate ships - they just don't work no more.
Given up on treasure chests that wash upon the shore
'Cause fool's gold never seems to keep its shine.

Can't you give me something I can hold in my hands
Sick of gold rush promises and empty suitcase plans
I won't go back to treasure maps and digging in the sand
For I always seem to lose whatever I find
Yeah, I always seem to leave it all behind

Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
And I won't ask for fool's gold anymore

Can't you make me feel like I haven't felt for years
When we laughed like we did when I was a kid until I burst into tears
And count the diamond stars and drink the water crystal clear
And I'll be richer than any man who lives with fear

Singing ay~~
Give me golden afternoons in May
Give me silver moons that light my way
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.

I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
I won't ask for fool's gold anymore.
