Only Love Is Real

As I bask in the glow of a just lit fire

Feelin' the warmth as the flame grows higher

I think it's true that nothing is really new

Under the sun

Watchin' 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?

Only love is real (Only love is real)

Everything else illusion

(Only love is real) Adding to the confusion

Of the way we connive at being alive

Tracing a line till we can be fine

The thing that allows us to feel

Only love is real, only love is real

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 given your youth to me

Only love is real (Only love is real)

Everything else illusion

(Only love is real) Adding to the confusion

Of the way we contrive to just stay alive

Tracing a line till we can be fine

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
