Lyrics
REAL LOVE LOOKS LIKE THAT
C 2010 Janice Hopkins/Greg C. Brown/Sharla Shore
I sat down with Mom at breakfast
She said, I know there's something on your mind
Told her, I think I love Bobby
But I don't know if it's the lasting kind.
She told me, go watch Gramps and Nanna
They've had fifty years to get it right
So if you wanna see what love is
Watch the little things in their lives
Chorus:
Like when he gets up every Saturday
When he could be sleeping late
Makes her toast , brews the coffee
While she lies in bed and waits
Later on he drives her to the market
lets her right out by the door
parks the car, walks through puddles as it pours
When shopping's done he carries every bag
Well, Real Love, real love Looks Like That..
Verse
I started watchin' them so often
it didn't take me long to see
That what they have is something special
So very subtle, gentle and sweet
Chorus 2:
when she asks him if he took his pills
That she'd laid out by his plate
Dear don'tforgot your wallet
Wear your coat, it's cold today
always in the kitchen waiting
He gets a kiss right by the door
When I see that, I think I couldn't want much more
A few more years I hope I'm where they're at
'Cause Real Love, real love Looks Like That
Bridge:
She loves to watch old movies
where the hero often dies
He pretends he doesn't notice
The tears in her eyes..
Chorus 3:
So he tries real hard to make her laugh
With another silly joke
Then he hands her one more tissue
As if he doesn't really know
this sweet woman feels so deeply,
it's the reason he loves her still
That's the kind of love I really wanna feel
I hope one day my own child will look back
Saying.. Real Love. Real love Looks Like That..
Outro:
It's the little things that all add up
To a loving welcome mat...
YEAH....... Real Love.......ONLY REAL LOVE...
REAL LOVE Looks Like That
