Lyrics
LOVE IS REAL
(Greg Tamblyn)
One day we’re gonna leave this earth
And find out just what it’s all been worth
They say we leave it all behind
But there’s one thing I think we’ll find
Love goes on, love continues
It’s the one thing you take with you
That not even death conceals
Love is real, not illusion
Though I know there’s been confusion
But when all else falls away and truth’s revealed
Love is real, love is real
We spend our lives chasing crazy things
For the fleeting happiness they bring
But a heartÿ that truly seeks to know
Will find love anywhere it goes
Love’s around, love’s inside you
If you let it love will guide you
It’s a power you can feel
Love is real, not illusion
Though I know there’s been confusion
But when all else falls away and truth’s revealed
Love is real, love is real
Sometimes life brings pain and hurt
And sometimes it can’t get much worse
All I know is what I’ve found
The times when I’ve felt so far down
Love will soothe, love will mend you
And when you let love befriend you
You will feel how it can heal
Love is real, not illusion
Though I know there’s been confusion
But when all else falls away and truth’s revealed
Love is real, love is real
