A Day In the Life Of A Fool (Manha de Carnaval)
Written by Carl Sigman, Antonio Mariz, and Luiz Bonfa
From the 1959 Brazilian-French film "Black Orpheus" which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue and hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you coming my way
I stop just across from your door
But you're never home any more
So back to my room
And there in the gloom I cry
Tears of goodbye
So back to my room
And there in the gloom I cry
Tears of good bye
