What A Fool Believes

He came from somewhere back in her long ago

The sentimental fool don't see

Trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created

Once in her life, she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale

Never coming 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 watching her go

But a fool believes he sees

The 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 watching her go

But a fool believes he sees

The 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 return once more?)

Is always better than nothing

(Who got the power?)

There's nothing at all (oh, now)

But a fool believes he sees (I believe she's never gone away)

The wise man has the power

To reason away (to reason away)

What seems to be (oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)

Is always better than nothing (better than nothing)

And nothing at all (oh, I believe)
