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...
