Lyrics
Only Love Is Real
(Verse 1)
A mother's touch, a child's sweet laugh
A partner's knowing gaze
The hugs I share with caring friends
These gifts have filled my days
An orchid's scent, a sun-kissed breeze
A puppy's playful tug
Night sky chock-full of gentle stars
My Universe full of love
(Chorus)
These things I will remember
These moments time stood still
When magic lived inside my heart
'Cause only love is real.
Looking back over all my life
It's the deepest thing I feel
What's pure and true is all that lasts
'Cause only love is real.
(Verse 2)
The days I danced upon the wind
The nights you shared with me
The dreams I finally realized
The grace that set me free
The music playing in my head
Rich places my heart soared
The faces that I can't forget
How could I ask for more
(Chorus 2)
These times I will remember
These moments time stood still
When magic lived inside my heart
Cause only love is real.
Looking back over all my life
It's the deepest thing I feel
What's pure and true is all that lasts
'Cause only love is real.
(Bridge)
Hardships have come
And moments filled with pain
But fear can't hold me in its grasp
The sun beats so much stronger than the rain
(Chorus 3)
These things I will remember
These moments time stood still
When magic lived inside my heart
'Cause only love is real
And someday when I've gone away
And you will need to heal
I'll leave these memories in your care
Leave these memories for you here
