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.
