what a fool believes lyrics

Here are the lyrics to "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers: 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
