What A Fool Believes

(album: Samba In Your Casa - 1991)

He came from somewhere
Back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Trying hard to recreate
What has yet to be created
Once in her life

She musters a smile
For this 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 watches her go

But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
It's always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
Keep sending him

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Some day and somewhere
She will return

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Some day and somewhere
She will return

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
It's always better than nothing
Than nothing at all

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
It's always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
