Only Love Is Real

[Verse 1]

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire

Feeling the warmth as the flame grows higher

I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun

Watching a new love grow from old love's embers

Yesterday's gone but today remembers

Doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone?

[Chorus]

Only love is real (Only love is real)

Everything else illusion (Only love)

Adding to the confusion of

The way we connive at being alive

Tracing a line 'til we can define

The thing that allows us to feel

Only love is real

Only love is real

[Verse 2]

Childhood dreams like muddy waters

Flowing through me to my son and daughters

Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me

Even as I see the way that I want to go now

Still I wish I had known what I know now

Maybe I could have spared you

Giving your youth to me

[Chorus]

Only love is real (Only love is real)

Everything else illusion (Only love)

Adding to the confusion of

The way we contrive to just stay alive

Tracing a line 'til we can define

The thing that allows us to feel

Only love is real (Only love is real)

Only love is real

Only love is real (Love is real, love is real, love is real)

Only love is real
