Make Love Last [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]


Make Love Last

Written by John Waite, Jonathan Cain
Lead Vocals by John Waite

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 drivin' 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 drivin' 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

Interpretation

As I'm driving down the highway, I'm daydreaming about our love. I see a chapel and think perhaps we should get married. Time is passing quickly, and I want our love to last.
