What A Fool Believes (The Doobie Brothers)

I remember all too well when this song was #1 on the music chart. It was the Spring of 1979. I was 12 years old and living in Panama City Beach, Florida. Had no idea what the lyrics of this song meant or even what they were, but I will forever relate this song to the beach. What a great time it was!!
"What A Fool Believes" was written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. This is the best known version of the song, recorded by The Doobie Brothers for their album, "Minute By Minute".
The song recieved Grammy Awards in 1980 for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

LYRICS:
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

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...

@romygirl60 Thank you Romy! Glad I was able to bring you a little sunshine. I know it must be very cold where you live. I still wouldn't mind visiting your country though. Then you can come back here with me and we'll go to the beach and get warmed up.

Thank you my friend for all your comments. :)
