REAL LOVE
(David Malloy / Randy McCormick / Spady Brannan)


Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - 1985


DOLLY:
They say that it's a matter of trusting
Before love has a chance to begin
And it's never simple, faithless hearts can cripple
And only a strong love survives

KENNY:
I know they say that it's such a fine line
Between giving up and giving me in
Ah, but once your heart's been in it you just can't forget it
It's like nothing that you've felt in your life

BOTH:
We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our heart's celebration
I love you, you know I love you too
Real love, not an imitation
Real love, you're my destination
Baby you and me we got everything we need

DOLLY:
You are such a part of my life
That I can't remember me without you
And we've had our nights, we've had our share of fights
But we never thought of giving it up

KENNY:
Oh, you and I we must be dreamers
'Cause we're making all our dreams come true
I could spend my life just holding you so tight
And never ever get enough

BOTH:
We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our heart's celebration
I love you, you know I love you too
We got real love, not an imitation
Real love, you're my destination
Baby you and me we got everything we need
We got real love

(Instrumental Break)

BOTH:
We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our heart's celebration
I love you, you know I love you too
Real love, not an imitation
Real love, you're my destination
Baby you and me we got everything we need
We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our heart's celebration
I love you, you know I love you too
Real love, not an imitation
Real love ....... FADE
