"What A Fool Believes" lyrics

He came from somewhere back
In his long ago
Sentimental fools don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in their lives

She musters a smile
For a 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 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

Is sending him somewhere back
In his long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in his 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
(I know she's never going away)
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems
(Nobody's gonna tell him)
To be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all

He's making a fool believe
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems
(Nobody's gonna tell him)
To be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
