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?
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, 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 twhat I know now
maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.
Only love is real, everything else illusion
adding to the confusion of the way we contrive to just stay alive
tracing a line till 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.
