Dan Fogelberg - Make Love Stay Lyrics

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 & tell me
How do we make love stay?
