Buddy Holly(September 7, 1936 - February 3, 1959) was a Texan singer-songwriterand is considered one of the founding fathers of rock 'n' roll, as well as one of its most influential artists. Although his career was cut short, his body of work is considered some of the best in rock music history and his music would influence not only many of his recording contemporaries, but also the future direction music would take. Sixties rock bands such as The Beatlesand The Rolling Stoneshave cited him as one of their favorite musicians. Holly's music was sophisticated for its day, including the use of instruments considered novel for rock and roll, such as the celesta (heard on Everyday). Holly was an influential lead and rhythm guitarist, notably on songs such as Peggy Sueand Not Fade Away.

Fool's Paradise Lyrics
Buddy Holly
Verse one:
You took me up to heaven, when you took me in your arms.
I was dazzled by your kisses, blinded by your charms.
I was lost in a fool's paradise.
Good and lost in a fool's paradise.
Verse two:
When you told me that you loved me, I gave my heart to you.
And I wondered if there could be any truth in love so new.
I was lost in a fools paradise.
Good and lost in a fool's paradise.
Chorus:
The whole world was my kingdom
and your love the gem in my crown.
Then I saw you glance at a new romance
and my love came tumbling down.
Verse three:
Well you treat me kinda coolish and may never let me know
That you think I'm being fooling because I love you so
I'll still get lost in a fool's paradise.
Lost with you in a fool's paradise.
Repeat chorus
Repeat verse three
