Make Love Last

(album: Backlash - 1991)

Now the sand is shifting through your life
The hands of time are twisting through your days
A captured moment in your kiss
Like winter snow it's gone
Melted away
There's a chapel on the edge of town
Baby take my hand
Before they tear it down
Cause now we find nothing's what it seems
Let me hold you close
Through these driving dreams
Cause the world is turning much too fast
And time won't wait
Gotta make love last
Cause the fields are burning
And there's no returning
Till the future finds the past
We gotta make love last
Make love last
Like a rose exploding in the sun
A precious time to live before it's gone
Tears fall on the ocean from different skies
Inside your kiss I wake and find the dawn
In temporary ways we give
But eternally our hearts will live
For now we find nothing's what it seems

You better run with me
Through these driving dreams
Cause the highway's fading much too fast
And time won't wait
We gotta make love last
Cause the fields are burning
And the season's turning
Till the future finds the past
This time we gotta make love last
Oh oh
Oh yeah
Oh
Cause the world is turning much too fast
And time won't wait
We gotta make love last
Cause the fields are burning
And the season's turning
Till the future finds the past
This time we're gonna make love last
We gotta make love last
Cause the highway's fading
And the world is turning
Much too fast
We gotta make love last
Make love last
