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 his nostalgic tale
 Never comin' near what he wanted to say
 Only to realize it never really was
 She had a place in his life
 He never made her think twice
 As he rises to her apology
 Anybody else would surely know
 He's watchin' her go
 What a fool believes he sees
 No wise man has the power
 To reason away
 What seems to be
 Is always better than nothing
 And 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, she will return
 She had a place in his life
 He never made her think twice
 As he rises to her apology
 Anybody else would surely know
 He's watchin' her go
 What a fool believes he sees
 No wise man has the power
 To reason away
 What seems to be (if love can come and love can go)
 (Then why can't love be so much more?) Is always better than nothing
 (Who's got the power?) And nothing at all
 (Oh my)
 What a fool believes he sees (he believes he's never gone away)
 No wise man has the power
 To reason away (to reason away)
 (Oh, if love can come and love can go) What seems to be
 (Oh my love) Is always better than nothing
 (Better than nothing)
 Nothing at all
 (Oh my love)
