What A Fool Believes 1979 Doobie Brothers

Won Grammy awards 1980 for Song of the Year
and Record of the Year

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

But what a fool believes ... (fadeout)
I believe she's never gone away
