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 himâ¦
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
