This Love Is Real - John Prine

I can taste your lipstick in the wine

I can feel your heartbeat close to mine

With your love wrapped around me

I’m silent and still

I know that this love is real

I have tasted other lips I thought were true

I have looked into the eyes I thought were you

Now touching just to touch

And feeling just to feel

I know that this love is real

Someone should tell our dreams when love is gone

While still in slumber memories linger one

Sometimes I lie awake in bed till dawn

Thinking of you

Now you’re gone

Tender is the heart that sleeps in rest

Tender is the hope of tenderness

Love thy neighbor as thyself

And thou shall not steal

I know that this love is real

Love thy neighbor as thyself

And thou shall not steal

I know that this love is real
