[Verse 1]
Love is real
It is not just in novels or the movies
It is fact
It is standing here right in front of you
So if you open your eyes
What a sweet discovery
There is hope, there is joy, there is acceptance

[Chorus]
So now 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 laughin’ so loud
That the house will shake with sound
And everything will be as new as the day it was found

[Verse 2]
Love is real
It is not just in long distance commercials
Or somethin' that you thought you felt back in high school
So I will just turn black and white
Become that horoscope you're readin’
It predicts somethin' good is on its way
[Chorus]
Oh, and then I will send you the world green and blue
In a box through the mail
You can open it up, hold it right in your hands
And be glad that it's there
Yeah, be glad that you're there
Now, you can feel all the knots in your stomach start to untie
And suddenly it's not so hard to say you're all right

[Verse 3]
Love is real
It is not just in poetry and stories
It is truth
And it will follow you
Everywhere you go from now on
So if you'd just cast off your doubt
Then your lips would answer for you
Oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song

[Outro]
And I can hear it now
(And 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, now, now)
(I can hear it now)
(Hear it now, I can hear it now)
