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? |
