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 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
 There's nothing at all
 But what a fool believes he sees
