Lyrics

Boy you've been spending too much time in fantasies
Staying all day at the park flying kites between the trees
Have you asked how long she plans to stick around
Till the summer fades away or till another muse is found
Don't you know real love is real life

All your concerns have pushed you far across the line
I was accepting all your faults but you were keeping track of mine
Have you thought about what you could do for me
Or just the way I'll make you look if you're standing next to me
Don't you know real love is real life

He made a promise over 50 years ago
He won't admit she can't remember things the way she did before
But she'll tell you all about the night she first met him
And she won't admit he can't take care of things the way he did back then
They get the groceries, read the paper, pay their bills
She goes with him to the doctor
He tells her to take her pills
And through the years it's been a journey full of lots of give and take
It's not just a feeling that you have
It's a choice you have to make
Don't you know real love is real life
