To Be Loved
Embracing Love: Ronan Keating's Tender Symphony Revealed
Lyrics
The song of a little bird,
The expression of joy or happiness represented by a small bird's song.

I know it's real, this is how it feels
A confirmation that the emotion experienced is genuine and true.
To be loved by you
Describes the sensation of being loved by the person being addressed.
The stars from a midnight sky,
The beauty and wonder derived from the stars in the night sky.
The melody from a lullaby

There's nothing real, that I wouldn't steal
Expresses a willingness to acquire anything genuine for the sake of being loved by the person.

If everybody knows, it's only ‘cause it shows

Would it be all right if I spent tonight
