Songwriters: LOGGINS, KENNY / MACDONALD, MICHAEL 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 What seems ... to be Is always better than nothing There's nothing at all 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
