Love Is Real Lyrics

Lyrics by Bright Eyes

love is real
it is not just in novels or the movies
it is fact
and it is standing here
right in front of you
so if you just open your eyes
oh what a sweet discovery
there is hope and there is joy
and there is acceptance
so let all the light that collects on your plants
keep you warm, make you smile
and i will be there with this pen in my hand
to record all the while
you'll be laughing so loud
that the house would shake with sound
and everything will be as new as the day it was found


oh, love is real
it is not just in long distance commercials
or something that you thought you felt
back in high school
so i will turn black and white
become that horoscope you're reading
it predicts that something good is on its way
oh, and i'll send you all the world, green and blue in a box
through the mail
you can open it up
hold it right in your hand
and be glad that it's there
and be glad that you're there
now you can feel all the knots in your stomach
they start to untie
and suddenly it's not so hard to say you're alright


oh, love is real
it is not just in poetry or stories
it is truth and it will follow you
everywhere you go from now on
so if you just cast off your doubts
then your lips would answer for you
oh my darlin when you smile
it is like a song
and i can hear it now
an i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
and i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
and i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
sing i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
i can hear it now
