All the big fools in town got together
Every hopeless lovin' heart I know was there
We all sat around and told our own best story
Then they made me the big fool of the year.

Oh, they gave to me a little golden statue
Of the torch that I carried for you, dear
They said no one else could even come close to me
And that I was the big fool of the year.

I'll put mine up beside
Any foolish love in town
'Cause there's none can hold a light
To this torch I carried round.

I can't say I'm to proud of the honor
But then I guess I do deserve it, dear
For to love you after all you've made me suffer
Surely makes me the big fool of the year.
