The Doobie Brothers - What a Fool Believes (2006 Remaster)

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 and love can go) (Then why can't love be so much more?) Is always better than nothing (Who's got the power?) 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 away) (Oh, if love can come and love can go) What seems to be (Oh my love) Is always better than nothing (Better than nothing) Nothing at all (Oh my love)
