Real Thing       Caldwell/George      Here comes the night   Once again   I'll be feeling lonely   Oh if only things could work out like you plan      Where can love be   Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody   Who will stand by me   And take the time to understand   And so may love again      *I want the real thing   Or nothing at all   I need someone that I can be sure will   Catch me if I should fall   Someone who'll be there when I call   Then I'll know that it's the real thing      I want the real thing   To warm me each night   Someone to love me over and over   Making the future bright   Somebody who will make it all right   Just give me the real thing      Where is the moon   Won't it smile   On just one more dreamer   Let your beams come down and fill my empty room      Here comes the night   But if there's still a chance that love can find me   I'll be here   Crossing my fingers      Repeat *       I want to know for sure   That I can feel secure   Knowing I've found an everlasting love   Once I get that under control   Then I won't let go      Repeat *
