Make Love Stay

Make Love Stay - Dan Fogelberg

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 nearly smolder

How do we keep it from dying away

Lucid as dreams

Barley remembered in the morning

Love like a phantom lights

But held in the heart

It builds like the empty smile adorning

A statue with sightless eyes

Moments fleet is 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 are so sweet within the rapture

When precious flesh is greedily consumed

Mystery's a thing not easily captured

And once deceased not easily exhumed

Now that we love

Look at the moonless night and tell me

How do we make love stay
