Story Behind The Song
As the only married person in my songwriter group, I observed with interest as my colleagues struggled with the question I had happily answered for myself: "How do you know it's real?"
Song Description
The relationship is new and uncertain, but feels like it could be the real thing, but a lot of questions haven't been answered yet.

Lyrics
ALL I'VE GOT TO GO ON
Words & Music: Powers McElhone
All I've got to go on is the way I feel
When he's here with me
There's nothing in the Book that says you'll now it's real
...There's no guarantee
But I still have these little doubts in my mind
We haven't been together very long
And all I've got to go on is the way I feel
And it feels a lot more right than wrong
All I've got to go on is the way I feel
When he touches me
Something deep inside me says you know it's real
...How lucky can you be?
But there's so much that I don't know about him
The other side that people never show
I really want to go on being close to him
But there's so much more I need to know
Is he the one?
Is it really love I've found?
Is it time?
Do I want to settle down?
Will I find...
That I love him more than he loves me?
All I've got to go on is the way I feel
When he's far away
I wouldn't want to go on if I had to feel
So empty every day
Maybe it's too late to change my mind
I guess my heart has known it all along
'Cause all I've got to go on is the way I feel
And it feels a lot more right than wrong
