歌词
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 comin' 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 watchin' her go
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 watchin' her go
What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
(If love can come an' love can go)
(Why can't love be?)
Is always better than nothing
(Ooo,)
And nothing at all
(Oh my)
What a fool believes he sees
(He believes he's never gone away)
No wise man has the power to reason away
(To reason)
To reason away
(Oh if love can come an' love can go)
What seems to be
(Oh my love)
Is always better than nothing
(Better than nothing)
Nothing at all
(Oh my love)
