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
What a sweet discoveryThere is hope, and there is joy, and there is acceptance
So now let all the light that collects on your plants
Keep you warm
Make you smileAnd 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 foundLove 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 readingIt predicts something good is on it's way
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 thereAnd 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 alrightLove 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 would just cast off your doubtThen your lips would answer for you
Oh my darling, when you smile
It is like a song and I can hear it now
