Only Love Is Real lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Only Love Is Real lyrics As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher I think it s true that nothing is really new under the sun Watching a new love grow from old love s embers Yesterday s gone but today remembers Doesn t it seem to come down the same for everyone (Chorus) Only love is real Everything else illusion Adding to the confusion of the way we connive At being alive Tracing a line till we can define The thing that allows us to feel Only love is real Childhood dreams like muddy waters Flowing through me to my son and daughters Everything I ever thought is confirmed as truth to me Even as I see the way that I want to go now Still I had wished I had known what I know now Maybe I could have spared you Giving your youth to me (Chorus) Only love is real Everything else illusion Adding to the confusion of the way we connive At being alive Tracing a line till we can define The thing that allows us to feel Only love is real song lyrics
