[00:17.67]He came from somewhere back in her long ago
[00:23.25]The sentimental fool don't see, tryin' hard to recreate
[00:27.51]What had yet to be created once in her life
[00:32.04]She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
[00:38.37]Never coming near what he wanted to say
[00:42.75]Only to realize it never really was
[00:47.85]She had a place in his life
[01:00.66]He never made her think twice
[01:04.65]As he rises to her apology
[01:08.43]Anybody else would surely know
[01:14.10]He's watching her go
[01:31.11]But what a fool believes he sees
[01:31.74]No wise man has the power to reason away
[01:45.93]What seems to be is always better than nothing
[01:50.91]And nothing at all keeps sending him
[01:51.84]Somewhere back in her long ago
[01:55.47]Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
[01:58.05]Someday, somewhere, she will return
[02:03.60]She had a place in his life
[02:23.88]He never made her think twice
[02:24.51]As he rises to her apology
[02:25.86]Anybody else would surely know
[02:31.95]He's watching her go
[03:08.73]But what a fool believes he sees
[03:09.48]No wise man has the power to reason away
[03:11.01]What seems to be is always better than nothing
[03:14.19]There's nothing at all but what a fool believes he sees

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
