Foolish Heart by Mary Martin
Release Date
Performed by
Mary MartinAbout
Not to be confused with the jazz standard by the same title, this song was written for Mary Martin in the 1943 Broadway musical One Touch of Venus. In the show, Venus worries that she has lost her otherworldly sex appeal. The music is done up like a Viennese waltz.
Foolish Heart Lyrics
[VENUS]
Will you tell me how these things happen?
Have I trusted in love too much?
When did the magic vanish?
Have I somehow lost my touch?
How gay the world could be
Could I love you, could he love me?
Love shouldn't be serious, should it?
You meet, you kiss, you start
I fancied that I understood it
I forgot my foolish heart
Love can't be illogical, can it?
You kiss, you smile, you part
It happens the way that you plan it
If you hush your foolish heart
Poor foolish heart
Crying for one who ignores you
Poor foolish heart
Flying from one who adores you
Ah, love used to touch me so lightly
My heart now betrays me so
I would dance with a new lover nightly
But my foolish heart says no
Ah, love used to touch me so lightly
My heart now betrays me so
I would dance with a new lover nightly
But my foolish heart says no
