Something Real

[Instrumental Intro with Horns]

[Verse 1]
Standing at the corner store
Looking at the window signs
Can't decide what to get you
Everything just feels too small
Nothing seems quite good enough
Though I've searched through every aisle
Walked these streets a dozen times
But my heart keeps saying no

[Pre-chorus]
Every pretty thing I see
Just reminds me what I know
That material things can't show
What I'm feeling deep below

[Chorus]
I could bring you something sweet
That would only last a day
(Something sweet, just for today)
But the feeling in my heart
Grows a little every day
(Growing stronger, here to stay)
So I'll give you something real
Something time can't take away
(Time can't take this love away)

[Verse 2]
Walking home with empty hands
But my mind is crystal clear
Every moment that we share
Builds a love that's standing tall
Simple moments, you and me
Dancing slow on Friday nights
Sharing coffee Sunday morns
That's the gift that never ends

[Pre-chorus]
Money can't buy what we've found
In the quiet times we share
In the way you make me laugh
In the way you've always cared

[Chorus]
I could bring you something sweet
That would only last a day
(Something sweet, just for today)
But the feeling in my heart
Grows a little every day
(Growing stronger, here to stay)
So I'll give you something real
Something time can't take away
(Time can't take this love away)

[Bridge]
Years will come and years will pass
Seasons change but we will last
Every day I choose you more
Than I did the day before

[Final Chorus]
I could bring you something sweet
That would only last a day
(Something sweet, just for today)
But the feeling in my heart
Grows a little every day
(Growing stronger, here to stay)
So I'll give you something real
Something time can't take away
(Time can't take our love away)

[Outro]
