Ferlin Husky Lyrics
"Statue of a Fool"

(Jan Crutchfield)

Somewhere there should be
For all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man
Who let love slip through his hands
And then just let him stand there all alone.

And there on his face
A gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he cried
And the hurt in his eyes would
So everyone would know
Concealed is a broken heart inside.

So build a statue and oh,
Build it high so that all can see
Then inscribe the world's greatest fool
And name it after me...
