She was like nothing I'd ever known
Her eyes shine like diamonds in a field of snow
The man that destiny led her to meet
Made her feel that life was now complete

A thousand days have passed
And nights gone by
You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes
Though she denies her pain and her dismay
Know I said this to her anyway

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry (makes you cry)
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside (have inside)
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Ooh oh no
Ooh don't let real love pass you by

I know you nervous
But take it from me
'Cause you deserve so much more than you receive
Listen to your heart and let it show
Don't hold on to your pain
Just let it go, let it go

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry (makes you cry)
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside (Have inside)
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry (makes you cry)
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside (Have inside)
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Oh yeah
Girl don't let real love pass you by
You can find a love you need
If you set your heart free
Don't…
Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
Don't be discouraged baby
Don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Don't have to stay with someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl don't let real love pass you by

Don't you let nothing
Don't let no one take you away from love
Don't let real love pass you by
Ooooo see I know, I know, I know
You'll be alright
Don't let real love pass you by
You just gotta believe in love, in love,
In love, in love, in love, in love

Don't let real love pass you by
Oh yeah
Don't let real love pass you by
Ooh, yeah
Don't let real love pass you by
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Don't let real love pass you by
Oh yeah, oh
Don't let real love pass you by…
