I  can taste your lipstick  in the wine,
 I can  feel your heartbeat  close to mine.
 With  your love wrapped around  me, I'm silent  and still.
I  know that this  love is real.
 I have  tasted other lips  I thought were true,
 I have  looked into the eyes  I thought were you.
 Now touching  just  to touch, and feeling just  to feel,
 I know that this love is real. (Instr: )
Someone  should tell our dreams when love is gone,
While  still in slumber, memories linger on
Sometimes  I lie awake in bed till dawn,  thinking of you,  now you're gone
Tender  is the heart  that sleeps in rest, tender  is the hope  of tenderness
Love  thy neighbor as  thyself and thou  shall  not steal
I  know that this  love is real
Love  thy neighbor as  thyself and thou  shall  not steal
I  know that this  love is real
