Make Love Stay lyrics by Dan Fogelberg

Title: Make love stay
Artist: Dan Fogelberg
Composer: FOGELBERG DANIEL
===========================

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 smoulder
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 empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes

Moments fleet, taste sweet
within the rapture
When precious flesh
is greedily consumed

But mystery is a thing
not easily captured
And once deceased,
not easily exhumed

Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
So how do we make love stay?

Moments fleet, taste sweet
within the rapture
When precious flesh
is greedily consumed

But mystery is a thing
not easily captured
And once deceased,
not easily exhumed

Now that we love
Look at the moonless night and tell me
So how do we make love stay?
