Make Love Stay (Live) - 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 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 empty 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?
