The old man got to feelin' bad   In the middle of the night   His grandson got up out of bed   And lit the coal oil light      He sat there and held his hand   Till his grandpa felt alright   And then he tucked him back in bed   And kissed his wrinkled brow goodnight      Now that's love, real love   Every once in a while   When someone goes the extra mile   I'll bet God smiles and says, ?Now that's love?      A father told his eight year old   Son, I'll have to miss you game today   I've got to fly to Houston   The boss says there's a deal that just can't wait      The young boy tried to hide his tears   But his dad could feel his pain   And he knew he'd have to tell the boss   My son comes first, I've got to make that game      Now that's love, real love   Every once in a while   When someone goes the extra mile   I'll bet God smiles and says, ?Now that's love?      A young girl told her mother   I can't raise this child alone   He said he would marry me   But this note says he's gone      Her mother pulled her close and said   "Honey, I can't judge what's right or wrong   But as long as there's a breath of life in me   Your child will have a home"      Now that's love, real love   Every once in a while   When someone goes the extra mile   I'll bet God smiles and says, ?Now that's love?
