lyrics

I used to attend the church of the barstool
Where I would take in service everyday
Now the Lord I prayed to there was one of shame and misfortune
The congregation never knew my name
Then one day an angel said to me and I listened
"Follow me out of the dark
Your eyes will only see what you want them to see.
So come with me into the light."

Love is real
It's like flowers in the spring
They don't mean a thing unless you let 'em in your heart
Love is real
It's a warm summer's rain
Don't let flow down the drain
Let it fill up your cup
Love is real

I wandered down a path and found a park bench
When I saw a little birdy flitter, flutter by
It landed next to me, that's when I saw you
The vision forever printed on my mind
I know that I could paint a thousand pictures
Of the feeling that was coursing through my heart
And words that would come to you are the same thing that I feel
That we should never be apart.

Love is real
It's like flowers in the spring
They don't mean a thing unless you let 'em in your heart
Love is real
It's a warm summer's rain
Don't let flow down the drain
Let it fill up your cup
Love is real

Love is real
It's like flowers in the spring
They don't mean a thing unless you let 'em in your heart
Love is real
It's a warm summer's rain
Don't let flow down the drain
Let it fill up your cup
Love is real
