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.
Doo da doo, m doo da do ba do do do
Doo da doo, m doo da do ba do do do
Looking forward to seeing you
But it's been such a long, long time
Looking forward to feeling your Love,
it's been so heavy on my mind
On my mind, all the time
On my mind
Had a chance to look forward
To be part of your loving my dreams
But I can't be happy with
Fantasizing instead of the real thing
The real thing, not my dreams
The real thing
There are no words that can express the way I feel today
'Cos I feel today, like no other day, longing more and more for your loving
There are no songs that I can sing to ease my troubled mind
'Cos my troubled mind will be troubled blue
Until you say you're coming home to me, hooo, hooo
(Quick Break down)
Let me hear you say baby, let me hear you say the words
Sing your love in a hurry
Send it's melody via love bird
A love bird, send your word,
By a love bird
(repeat 2 times)
(Instrumental)
There are no words that can express the way I feel today
'Cos I feel today, like no other day, longing more and more for your loving
There is no other someone that can ease my aching heart
'Cos my aching heart told my troubled mind, the only remedy to this pain is your love
ooh ooh
Let me hear you say baby, everything's gonna be alright
Stop my heart from aching
Stop my eyes from crying through the night
Through the night, I won't cry
Through the night
Doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo…… (for a verse)
The real thing, not my dreams,
The real thing, not my dreams
The real thing, not my dreams
The real thing…..(fade)
