Lyrics

The (Bb)night

is like a (Gm)love ly tune,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart!

How (Bbmaj7)white

the ev er (Gm)con stant moon;

Take (Cm7)care

my fool ish heart!

(F7)There’s a (Bbmaj7)line be tween love and fas ci (Bb7)na tion that’s hard to (Eb)see on an eve ning such as (A)this,

(D)For they (Gm)both give the (D)ver y same sen (Gm7)sa tion

(C9)when you’re (Fmaj7)lost in the (F6)mag ic of a (F7)kiss.

(F)His (Bb)lips

are much too (Gm)close to mine,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart.

But (Bbmaj7)should

our ea ger (Gm)lips com bine

Then (Cm7)let

the fire (D)start

(D7)For (Gm)this time it (Gm7)is n’t fas ci (Gb9)na tion,

(Gb7)or a (Bb)dream that will fade and fall a (D)part,

(G7)It’s (Cm7)love

this time, it’s love, (F9)my (Cm7)fool (F)ish (Bb)heart.

The (Bb)night

is like a (Gm)love ly tune,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart!

How (Bbmaj7)white

the ev er (Gm)con stant moon;

Take (Cm7)care

my fool ish heart!

(F7)There’s a (Bbmaj7)line be tween love and fas ci (Bb7)na tion that’s hard to (Eb)see on an eve ning such as (A)this,

(D)For they (Gm)both give the (D)ver y same sen (Gm7)sa tion

(C9)when you’re (Fmaj7)lost in the (F6)mag ic of a (F7)kiss.

(F)His (Bb)lips

are much too (Gm)close to mine,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart.

But (Bbmaj7)should

our ea ger (Gm)lips com bine

Then (Cm7)let

the fire (D)start

(D7)For (Gm)this time it (Gm7)is n’t fas ci (Gb9)na tion,

(Gb7)or a (Bb)dream that will fade and fall a (D)part,

(G7)It’s (Cm7)love

this time, it’s love, (F9)my (Cm7)fool (F)ish (Bb)heart.

The (Bb)heart.

About “My Foolish Heart

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "My Foolish Heart" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 85 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
