Story Behind the Song

Verse Progression: (Em7 A+)2 C Bm C D Chorus Progression: (CBmEm7)4 prebridge (CGCGEm tail)
Bridge: (A Em7)3 G A
Intro - instrumental thru verse and short chorus
verse 1 He had questions. He knew she had some, too.
Why should she listen to him when there’s nothing left to do.
He thinks there’re bigger things in this cruel world.
(says) test the water, Girl. Give them a whirl.
verse 2 What is romance but a sting in the night?
What is love but the tail of a flaming kite?
They can’t force the miracle to come their way.
It just happens in its own cosmic day, but...
chorus How do they make love stay? Who do they have to pay?
What do they have to say? How do they make love?
How do they make love ? How do they make love stay?
verse 3 It’s not love they really seek to hold.
But the mystery that binds, more valued than gold.
In this world of make believe they play
Like from a dream, they awaken to say...
repeat chorus
Instrumental Break - thru verse short chorus
verse 4 There’s a magnet in his heart just for her.
It draws her to him, when he’s lost for words.
He throws out the life preserver of love.
It fits her well, fits her like a glove, but....
chorus How do they make love stay? Who do they have to pay?
What do they have to say? How do they make love ?
How do they make love ? How do they make love stay?
bridge Age is the great leveler of us all
Makes us feel so fragile and small.
Love’s the Shield that keeps the Demons away.
Gives us hope. Helps us to pray, but....
repeat chorus
verse 5 (coda) What is romance but a sting in the night?
What is love but the tail of a flaming kite?
In this world of make believe we play
Like from a dream, we awaken to say...
repeat chorus
