Story Behind the Song
The motivation to write this was simple: I was stuck (again) in my desire for a romantic relationship with a person who valued the friendship --- but nothing more.

FOOLISH FANTASY
©1977/1997 by John G. Fausett
Here I go again
Down into a tailspin
When will I learn that I never win?
Climb out of danger then
Fall right back in
Ooooo, standing helplessly
Ooooo, far from reality
Ooooo, fate surrounding me
With a foolish fantasy
She is so unique
And her name is all I care to speak
The dam around my heart is weak
And now my emotions are starting to leak
Ooooo, standing helplessly
Ooooo, far from reality
Ooooo, fate surrounding me
With a foolish fantasy
Why am I sitting here all alone
Waiting for a ring on the phone?
Look how large this dream has grown
From a seed that was carelessly sown
This dream will never last
Come tomorrow, it's in the past
Expectations are vanishing fast
Into depression my mind will be cast
Ooooo, standing helplessly
Ooooo, far from reality
Ooooo, fate surrounding me
With a foolish fantasy
