(Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins)
|
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 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 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
|
But what a fool believes he sees:
