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 What seems ... to be Is always better than nothing There's nothing at all 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
...."what a fool believes he sees, the wise man has the power to reason away..." its the story of a guy - like so many guys - who thinks he means something to this particular girl, when actually she doesnt even know he exists....the poor fool believes he is a part of her life - as off - Guys, if you dont get this song, uhmm what is means is that a girl will move on while most guys will suffer immensly after a breakup. I guess my age has given me wisdom which I would gladly trade for youth lol
my goodness...i used to hear this song with my dad when i was very little we both adored this song..now im alot older and can relate to this song..ugh..the irony -.-"
I have to say that this song is over thirty years old, a timeless classic that will continue to inspire people in very positive ways! Thank you Micheal and Kenny!
Yea, he does mean the wise man doesnt have the power, but he says, "NO WISE MAN HAS THE POWER". U 1st said I was wrong & he didnt say that & now ur changing ur tune. I think ur just 1 of them ppl who is always right, who don't like to be proven wrong!
