What a Fool Believes Lyrics

[00:16.33] He came from somewhere
[00:17.97] Back in her long ago
[00:22.22] The sentimental fool don't see
[00:24.36] Tryin' hard to recreate
[00:26.40] What had yet to be created
[00:30.08] Once in her life
[00:31.93] She musters a smile
[00:34.57] For his nostalgic tale
[00:38.26] Never coming near
[00:39.82] What he wanted to say
[00:42.79] Only to realize
[00:46.13] It never really was
[00:49.32] She had a place in his life
[00:57.27] He never made her think twice
[01:04.33] As he rises to her apology
[01:08.04] Anybody else would surely know
[01:13.85] He's watching her go
[01:17.24] But what a fool believes he sees
[01:24.70] No wise man has the power
[01:29.80] To reason away
[01:34.29] What seems to be
[01:40.56] Is always better than nothing?
[01:45.86] And nothing at all
[01:49.23] Keep sending him
[01:50.54] Somewhere back in her long ago
[01:55.24] Where he can still believe
[01:56.82] There's a place in her life
[01:59.47] Someday, somewhere
[02:03.69] She will return
[02:06.51] She had a place in his life
[02:14.44] He never made her think twice
[02:21.51] As he rises to her apology
[02:25.28] Anybody else would surely know
[02:31.26] He's watching her go
[02:34.47] But what a fool believes he sees
[02:41.88] No wise man has the power
[02:47.03] To reason away
[02:51.01] What seems to be
[02:57.83] Is always better than nothing?
[03:02.51] And nothing at all
[03:06.53] But what a fool believes he sees
[03:13.63] No wise man has the power
[03:18.45] To reason away
[03:23.05] What seems to be
[03:29.41] Is always better than nothing?
[03:34.16] And nothing at all
[03:37.08]
