Ev'rything I Love

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 
  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 
  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 
  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
