Make It Last
Sing to the tune of "Twelfth Of Never" by Johnny Mathis
Wrtten for my wife on her birthday. Hope someone remembers
the tune to Twelfth Of Never.
MAKE IT LAST (A SONG FOR SUE)
My heart will flame forever
love's fire I know
Or maybe even longer
as love will grow.
Someone said when you fall in love
time flies right by!
That one someone I know was
telling no lie.
(chorus)
Make it last,
longer than forever,
Make it last,
strong so wrong can't ever sever.
I'll make forever linger
in one embrace
Make love next to the garden
and share its grace
To make my lover happy
in every way.
Will make our love forever
so let's begin today.
A scent of sweet gardenias
rides soft the breeze
The bouquet lifted up above
the poplar trees.
And no one knows exactly where
that bouquet grows;
It's just an aromatic
from magic flower shows.
(chorus)
Make it last,
longer than forever
Make it last,
strong so wrong can't ever sever.
I see the shadow beauty
of childhood games
She's playing close behind you;
then calls your name.
This little girl becoming
the stunning grown up you;
perfection in a lover
who grew to love me true.
I watch you walk before me
long legs in stride
I still am like a virgin whose mind
can't hold such pride
Your body is erotic
in every single move
A heavenly narcotic
that puts me in love's groove.
(chorus)
Make it last,
longer than forever
Make it last,
strong so wrong can't ever sever.
