[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
Only love is real (Only love is real)
Everything else illusion (Only love)
Adding to the confusion of
The way we connive at being alive
Tracing a line 'til we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
Only love is real
[Verse 2]
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 what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to me
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?
[Chorus]
Only love is real (Only love is real)
Everything else illusion (Only love)
Adding to the confusion of
The way we connive at being alive
Tracing a line 'til we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
Only love is real
[Verse 2]
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 what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to me
