What a Fool Believes Kenny Loggins

[Verse 1]
He came from somewhere back
In his long ago
(Sentimental fools don't see)
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in their lives
She musters a smile
For a nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Is sending him somewhere back in his long ago
(Right back there alone)
Where he can still believe
There's a place in his life
(Somehow, someday)
She will return

[Pre-Chorus]
She had a place in his life
(He) He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

[Chorus]
What a fool believes
(I know she's never going away)
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems
(Nobody's gonna tell him, I bet)
To be (They're always watching me)
Always better than nothing
Nothing at all
