Daniel Grayling Fogelberg (August 13, 1951 –
December 16, 2007) was an American musician, songwriter, composer, and
multi-instrumentalist. He
is known for his 1980s songs, including "Longer"
(1979), "Same Old Lang Syne" (1980), and "Leader of the Band" (1982).
"Make Love Stay" is the title of a
popular song from 1983 written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg. It was
one of two new songs included on his 1982 greatest hits
album, along with the song "Missing
You".
Fogelberg later described "Make Love
Stay" in the liner notes to a retrospective album as a "sinuous piece
written around a chapter of Tom Robbins' Still Life with
Woodpecker" and as "a musical
question that, unfortunately, eludes me still."
"Make Love Stay" peaked at Nº. 29
on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 1983. It was Fogelberg's third song to top the Billboard adult
contemporary chart, following his earlier hits
"Longer" and "Leader of the Band".
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
How do we keep it from dying away?
Elusive as dreams
Barely remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom flies
But held in the heart
It pales like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes.
Moments fleet, taste
sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed.
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Moments fleet, taste
so sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed.
Now that we love
Look at the moonless night and tell me
How do we make love stay?
