The Real Thing
(Sarah Goslee Reed)
THE REAL THING by Sarah Goslee Reed
CHORUS:
It was the real thing on a day in June
It was a diamond ring not a paper moon
It was the real thing it was the real thing
I found it hard to believe something could be so easy
Just within my reach right there in my hand
Always before I had tried to be someone more or less
All I could do was sigh...
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Then I saw life could be so different
When I learned not to try at all
Good things come when you least expect them
And when you’re not bracing for a fall
CHORUS:
It was the real thing on a day in June
It was a diamond ring not a paper moon
It was the real thing it was the real thing
It was an evening with so full a moon
Dancing full swing to a perfect tune
It was the real thing not just a paper moon
It was the real not just a paper it was the real thing
