Make Love Stay Lyrics - Singles - Fogelberg Dan

Now that we love 

Now that the lonely nights are over 

How do we make love stay? 

Now that we know 

The fire can burn bright or merely smolder 

How do we keep it from dying away? 

Elusive as dreams 

Barely remembered in the morning 

Love like a phantom flies 

But held in the heart 

It pales like the emply smile adorning 

A statue with sightless eyes. 

Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture 

When precious flesh is greedily consumed 

But mystery's a thing not easily captured 

And once deceased not easily exhumed. 

Now that we love 

Now that the lonely nights are over 

How do we make love stay? 

Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture 

When precious flesh is greedily consumed 

But mystery's a thing not easily captured 

And once deceased not easily exhumed. 

Now that we loved 

Look at the moonless night and tell me 

How do we make love stay?
