Love Is All It Takes Lyrics - Romanovsky And Phillips

(Now more than ever, with the far right trying to define the 

structure of the family for us, we must honor and support the 

courageous women and men who affirm the true definition of family 

every day of their lives. Dedicated with love to gay and lesbian 

parents everywhere.) 

Good night my daughter 

Sleep tight, my son 

The world is full of injustices 

Of which you know none 

I wish that I could shelter you 

So you'd never have to see 

The ways in which some folks have made 

An outlaw out of me 

Good night, my precious 

Sweet dreams, my little one 

While the lawyers and the courts decide 

What is to be done 

I wish that you could tell them all, 

When they dare to question me, 

That we're every bit the model 

Of a perfect family 

It's not the pot that grows the flower 

It's not the clock that slows the hour 

The definition's plain for anyone to see 

Love is all it takes to make a family 

Good night, my child 

So innocent, so young 

When they start teaching you to hate me 

I pray you won't succumb 

To prejudice and bigotry 

To ignorance and shame 

Because I'm proud of who I am 

And hope you'll feel the same
