As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Em7 Bm7
feeling the warmth as the flame grows higher

I think it's true that nothing is really new under the sun

watching a new love grow from old love's embers
Bm7 E7
yesterday's gone but today remembers

doesn't it seem to come down the same for everyone?

Only love is real, everything else illusion

adding to the confusion of the way we connive at being alive

the thing that allows us to feel

only love is real, 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
Bm7 E7
even as I see the way that I want to go now
Bm7 E7
still I wish I had known twhat I know now

maybe I could have spared you giving your youth to me.
