D-C,G/B,Am7,G6,GM7--
 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  flight.
 But held in the heart
 It pales like the empty smile adorning
  A statue with silent  signs.
  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 love
 Now that the lonely nights are over
  How do we make  love  stay?
 Adlib: -,/,,/-
 
 
 
 (Repeat Bridge)
 Now that we love
 Look at the moonless night and tell  me
  How do we make  love  stay?
 
 For the timing just listen to the cd. Hope I did justice to this song.
 Thanks very much Daniel for the inspiration
  Enjoy!
