Love Is Real

I think about life, I think about death
I think about love and of all that is left
I think about you, I think about me
I think about all the happiness there would be
But dreams are so fragile and mystic
And I know that I have to be realistic
But the most important things I know to be true
Are all the wonderful ways that I love you

And love is real
And there’s nothing in the world that can change what I feel
Love is real

I think about family, I think about friends
I think about what breaks and about what bends
I think about fire, I think about ice
I think about which one best suits you nice
And if you never want to see me again
I’m always gonna think of you now and then
Because the most important things I know to be true
Are all the wonderful ways that I love you

And love is real
And there’s nothing in the world that can change what I feel
Love is real

I think about what you are and what you’re not
I think about how it doesn’t matter what you have or haven’t got
I think about magic, I think about loss
I think about how much of each we have both come across
I think about darkness, I think about sunshine
I think about what’s in your life and what’s missing in mine
And the most important things I know to be true
Are all the wonderful ways that I love you

And love is real
And there’s nothing in the world that can change what I feel
Love is real

I think about heaven, I think about hell
I think about the places that I know so well
I think about what I’ve never seen and where I’ve never been
I think about your beauty from without and within
I think about the world and I think about space
And I think where I belong is in your comfortable embrace
Because the most important things I know to be true
Are all the wonderful ways that I love you

And love is real
And there’s nothing in the world that can change what I feel
Love is real
I think about the wounds we share and what it takes to heal
And love is real
