The Real Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Chorus)
La la la
Love is the real thing
You know
Love is the real thing
La la la la
La love
(Chorus)
She is waiting
In the office
For the bell to go
She is thinking
Of their meeting
Just a month ago
Now she's running
Through the pople
Everyone so slow
Now he holds her
And he loves her
He tells her so and
(Chorus)
La love
(Chorus)
By the nightfall
They have driven
From the world they know
She's so happy
They're together
And their love will grow
And when you feel your chance has come
Who's going to throw it all
And if there's someone left behind
You have to say that
(Chorus)
La love
(Chorus)...
