Kathy with a K's Song Lyrics

Love is real
It is not
Just in novels or the movies
It is fact
And it is standing here right in front of you
So if you open your eyes
What a sweet discovery
There is hope, there is joy, and there is acceptance
So now let all the light that collects on your plants
Keep you warm
Make you smile
And I will be there with this pen in my hand to record
All the while
You'll be laughing so loud
That the house would shake with sound
And everything would be as new as the day it was found

Love is real
It is not just in long distance commercials
Or something that you thought you felt back in high school
So I will turn
Black and white
Become that horoscope you're reading
It predicts something good is on it's way
And then I'll send you the world green and blue
In a box in the mail
You can open it up
Hold it right in your hand and be glad that it's there
And be glad that you're there
You can feel all the knots in your stomach start to untie
And suddenly it's not so hard to say you're all right

Love is real
It is not
Just in poetry and stories
It is truth
And it will follow you
Everywhere you go from now on
So if you would just cast off your doubt
Then your lips would answer for you
Oh, my darling, when you smile
It is like a song
And I can hear it now

Cover art for Kathy with a K's Song lyrics by Bright Eyes

oh man, i just downloaded the jason mraz version. it made me so sad. and not in the good, bright eyes inflicted kind of sad. the "oh my god, he disgraced such a wonderful song" kind of sad. I almost cried when he said "oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song..." because that's my favorite line in the song, and one of my favorite lines in ANY song, ever. For some reason, I feel like Conor's the only one worthy to sing that line.

I heard this as a Jason Mraz cover (only the cover is called "Love Is Real") and while to be honest I like Jason's voice better, I have to say that the lyrics to this song are absolutely beautiful. I almost started crying the first time I heard it, it touched me that much.
