Day 16: a song that makes me cry.
“Kathy With a K’s Song” - Bright Eyes
this is the most beautiful love song ever written, but you have to listen to get the full effect.

Love is real
It is not just in novels or the movies
It is fact, and it is standing here right in front of you
So if you’d just open your eyes, what a sweet discovery
There is hope, and there is joy, and there is acceptance.

So now let all the light that collects on your plants keep you warm, make you smile
And I will be there with this pen in my hand to record all the while
You’ll be laughing so loud that the house would shake with sound
And everything will be as new as the day it was found.

Love is real
It is not just in long distance commercials
Or something that you thought you felt back in high school
So I will turn black and white, become that horoscope you’re reading
It predicts something good is on its way

And then I will send you the world green and blue in a box through the mail
You can open it up, hold it right in your hand and be glad that it’s there
And be glad that you’re there
Now you can feel all the knots in your stomach start to untie
And suddenly it’s not so hard to say you’re alright.

Love is real
It is not just in poetry and stories
It is truth, and it will follow you everywhere you go from now on
So if you’d just cast off your doubt, then your lips would answer for you
Oh my darling, when you smile
It is like a song
And I can hear it now.
