What A Fool Believes

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
 The sentimental fool don't see
 Tryin' hard to recreate what had yet to be created
 Once in her life
 She musters a smile for her nostalgic friend
 Never coming near what he wanted to say
 Only to realize it never really was
 She, she had a place in his life
 And he, he never made her think twice
 As he rises to her apology
 Anybody else would surely know
 She's walking away
 What a fool believes, he sees
 No wise man has the power
 Power to reason away
 What seems, what seems to be
 Is always better than nothing
 Oh-oh, nothing at all
 Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
 Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
 Someday, somewhere, that she will return
 She, she had a place in his life
 (Had a place in his life)
 And he never made her think twice
 As he rises to her apology
 Anybody else would surely know
 (Would surely know)
 She's walking away
 (What a fool believes)
 But what a fool believes
 (He believes what he sees) he sees (he sees a chance)
 No wise man has the power, power to reason away, reason away
