Love is real

It is not just in novels or the movies

It is fact

And it is standing here right in front of you

So if you open your eyes

Oh what a sweet discovery

There is hope, and there is joy, and there is acceptance

So now let all of the light that collects on your plants

Keep you warm, make you smile

And I will be there with this pen in my hand

To record all the while

You'll be laughing so loud

That the house would shake with sound

And everything will be as new as the day it was found

Love is real

It is not just in long distance commercials

Or something that you thought you felt back in high school

So I will turn black and white

Become that horoscope you're reading

It predicts something good is on its way

Oh, and then I will send you the world green and blue

In a box through the mail

You can open it up, hold it right in your hand

And be glad that it's there

And be glad that you're there

Now, you can feel all the knots in your stomach start to untie

And suddenly it's not so hard to say you're all right

Love is real

It is not just in poetry and stories

It is truth, and it will follow you

Everywhere you go from now on

So if you'd just cast off your doubt

Then your lips would answer for you

Oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song

And I can hear it now

And I can hear it now

And I can hear it now

Yes, I can, I can, I can

I can hear it now

I can hear it now

Yeah, I can, I can, I can

I can hear it now

I can hear it now

I can hear it now

Yeah, I can, I can, I can

I can hear it now

I can hear it now
