Fool (If You Think It's Over) - Chris Rea (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Fool (If You Think It's Over) (Chris Rea, 1978). Live performance by Bill Sharkey, Mexico Fiesta Hawaii Kai, HI. 2024-05-02. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"
"Fool (If You Think It's Over)," written by Chris Rea, was Rea's first release in the US and his only top 20 hit climbing to the no. 12 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978 (Whitburn, 2013) and remained three weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart's top position. Elton John's producer, Gus Dudgeon, produced this track, but Rea was not thrilled with the final production wanting it to be a more soul rather than a pop feel; "I did as I was told by a huge producer, and he'd been told by the record company to turn me into the next Elton John, which couldn't be further away from what I was . . . I've still got a piece of paper and on the original lyrics it says: ''Fool (If You Think It's Over).' Song for Al Green" (songfacts, 2024). Because of the song, Rea was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy (awardsandwinners, 1978).

Lyrics:
Dyin' flame, you're free again
Who could love, do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be comin' back
Look, save your tears
Got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your cryin' for the day
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the mornin' sun
Fool if you think it's over
It's just begun
Miss Teenage Dream, such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride, and how you cried and cried
But save your tears, got years and years
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why...
(Fool if you think it's over)
(Fool if you think it's over)
I'll buy you first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your cryin' for the day
That may not come
But anyone who had to pay
Would laugh at you and say
Fool if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first
