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 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 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 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 alright      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 would 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
