Once in her life

She musters a smile   for his nostalgic tale 
 Ab           Bbm          A7       Ab4    F# 
Never coming near what he wanted to say 
         Fm      Ebm7       Ab          Bbm    
Only to realize        it never really was

No wise man has the power  to reason away 
      F#m        B4   
What seems    to be

Is always better than nothing 
                C#m7    A7/5+ 
And nothing at all...        keeps sending him...

Where he    can still believe there's a place

In her life...    someday... somewhere

She will return.

Anybody else   would surely know 
                  Gm7/5-
