What A Fool Believes

She came from somewhere back
Years long ago
Sentimental fools 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 coming near
What she wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

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 watching her go

But what a fool believes, he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Nothing at all
