Kenny Loggins
- What a fool believes lyrics

She came from somewhere back
In his long ago
Sentimental fools don't see
Trying 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 she 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.

Is sending him somewhere back in
His long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in his life
Somehow someday
She will return
