Day 9: Real Love

About The Song

 

Listen to Michelle talk about the song.

 
 

I wrote this song when my son was 4. He’s now 17. It’s amazing how fast time has gone. Crazy even.

This song is about that little boy who’s now bigger than I am. His big blue eyes, the way he used to look at me, the things he would do and say. Argh. My heart. There’s really nothing in this world like the love of a child.

Lyrics

 

REAL LOVE

Of all the beauty that I’ve seen 

Nothing compares to the way he looks at me 

Those big blue eyes stare up at mine 

This kind of love is so hard to find

It’s real love that he’s given me 

Real love and there’s nothing like

The real love that I see in his eyes

There is nothing in this world like the love of a child 

Of all the memories in my mind 

The best ones are his little hand reaching out for mine

He’s my little angel.  He’s my number one.

He’s the one who’s teaching me about // real love

It’s real love that he’s given me 

Real love and there’s nothing like

The real love that I see in his eyes

There is nothing in this world like the love of a child 

And when life gets me down and it gets too hard to hide 

He tells me that I’m beautiful and makes everything alright

He’s only four years old and he’s the best thing in my life

It’s real love that he’s given me 

Real love and there’s nothing like

The real love that I see in his eyes

There is nothing in this world like the love of a child
