Fun to be fooled This is a song from a 1934 musical revue called Life Begins at 8:40. The music was by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It indicates that the singer knows that plunging into any new romance is fraught with the peril that it might not work out. Nevertheless, the thrill of the beginning connection is worth potential romantic failure.
"Spring is here, I'm a fool if I fall again
And yet I'm enthralled again, by it's call again
You say you love me, I know from the past
You mean to love me But These Things Don't Last."
The singer is Ann Gilbert who provides a nice jazzy
performance in keeping with the tongue-in-cheek
nature of Gershwin's clever lyrics.
