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  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...
