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!
