The Real Thing
I have spent so many years
Givin' in to all my darkest fears
I kept my secrets tucked away
I never knew the price that I would pay
But every time I see your eyes I cannot hide
I'll have to let this feeling be my guide
I want the real thing
I've played the part of Great Pretender
Give me the real thing
A love that starts in Heaven's heart
And sets my soul remembering
I want the real thing
After so much time alone
I though my heart would ever find a home
But just a look, a word from you
And all my longing rises into view
Now I see it's time to put the past aside
I want the real thing
I've played the part of Great Pretender
Give me the real thing
A love that starts in Heaven's heart and sets my soul remembering
I want the real thing
It's taken years to understand
What's the truth and what's just sleight of hand
I want the real thing
