A Day In the Life Of A Fool (Manha de Carnaval) Frank Sinatra Written by Carl Sigman, Antonio Mariz, and Luiz Bonfa This version did not chart but it was a #62 for Jack Jones in 1966 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
