Only Love Is Real Lyrics

Only Love Is Real lyrics

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames
grow 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
Everything else illusion
Adding
to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till
we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
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 had wished I had known what I know
now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to
me
(Chorus)

Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding
to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till
we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
