Only Love Is Real — текст песни (Carole King)

As I bask in the glow of a just-lit fire
Feeling the warmth as the flames grow higher
I think it`s true that nothing
is really new under the sun
Watching a new love grow
from old love`s embers
Yesterday`s gone but today remembers
Doesn`t it seem to come down the same for everyone
(Chorus)
Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
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
Even as I see the way that I want to go now
Still I had wished I had known what I know now
Maybe I could have spared you
Giving your youth to me
(Chorus)

Only love is real
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel
Only love is real
