What a Fool Believes Lyrics
[00:16.59] He came from somewhere back in her long ago
[00:22.17] The sentimental fool don't see tryin' hard to recreate
[00:26.65] What had yet to be created once in her life
[00:32.18] She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
[00:38.14] Never comin' near what he wanted to say
[00:42.42] Only to realize it never really was
[00:49.32] She had a place in his life
[00:57.48] He never made her think twice
[01:04.17] As he rises to her apology
[01:07.94] Anybody else would surely know
[01:14.06] He's watchin' her go
[01:17.55] What a fool believes he sees
[01:25.24] No wise man has the power
[01:29.70] To reason away
[01:34.26] What seems to be
[01:40.61] Is always better than nothing
[01:45.77] And nothing at all
[01:49.03] Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
[01:55.38] Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
[01:59.51] Someday, somewhere, she will return
[02:06.24] She had a place in his life
[02:14.43] He never made her think twice
[02:21.61] As he rises to her apology
[02:25.16] Anybody else would surely know
[02:31.47] He's watchin' her go
[02:34.75] What a fool believes he sees
[02:42.01] No wise man has the power
[02:46.87] To reason away
[02:51.02] What seems to be (if love can come and love can go)
[02:57.29] (Then why can't love be so much more?) Is always better than nothing
[03:01.43] (Who's got the power?) And nothing at all
[03:05.42] (Oh my)
[03:06.87] What a fool believes he sees (he believes he's never gone away)
[03:13.29] No wise man has the power
[03:18.30] To reason away (to reason away)
[03:23.01] (Oh, if love can come and love can go) What seems to be
[03:27.02] (Oh my love) Is always better than nothing
[03:32.92] (Better than nothing)
[03:34.00] Nothing at all
[03:36.09] (Oh my love)
[03:37.86]
