She came from somewhere back
Years long ago
Sentimental fools 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 she wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
What a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems
To be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
Keeps sending him
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Somehow, 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
Nothing at all
