Make Love Stay
Eternal Flames: Nurturing Love's Endless Glow
Lyrics
Now that we love
Now that we have experienced love
Now that the lonely nights are over
Now that the lonely, difficult nights are behind us
How do we make love stay?
Questioning how to sustain and maintain love
Now that we know
Now that we are aware
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
Acknowledging that the intensity of love can vary
How do we keep it from dying away?
Seeking ways to prevent love from fading
Elusive as dreams
Describing love as elusive, akin to dreams
Barely remembered in the morning
Memories of love may be faint upon waking
Love like a phantom flies
Comparing love to a fleeting phantom
But held in the heart
However, when held in the heart
It pales like the emply smile adorning
Love can lose its vibrancy, like a forced smile on a statue
A statue with sightless eyes
Illustrating a lifeless appearance with sightless eyes
Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of moments, appreciating the sweetness in the blissful experience
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
Highlighting the intensity of passion when consumed eagerly
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
Acknowledging the difficulty in grasping the mysterious aspects of love
And once deceased not easily exhumed
Once lost, reviving the mystery is challenging
Now that we love
Reiterating the theme of having experienced love
Now that the lonely nights are over
Recalling the end of challenging, lonely nights
How do we make love stay?
Persistently asking how to ensure the continuity of love
Now that we loved
Reflecting on past experiences of love
Look at the moonless night and tell me
Observing a moonless night and pondering the sustainability of love
How do we make love stay?
Raising the question of how to make love endure
