She 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 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
