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 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
