Let's Make It Last Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stay for a little while
Share a glass beside the fire
Time goes by so fast, so fast
Let's make it last

[Verse 2]
Stay, stay and talk awhile
Share a laugh, share a smile
Days go by so fast, so fast
Let's make it last

[Chorus 1]
Ohh, Is their [?] far away
All the colors slowly fade to gray

[Verse 3]
Stay or watch another round
See the stars hang faster now
Why not wait and watch the sun
Circle back around again?

[Chorus 2]
Ohh, the hour glass is cruel
And the moment given the moment spent

[Verse 1]
Stay for a little while
Share a glass beside the fire
Time goes by so fast, so fast
Let's make it last

[Outro]
Let's make it last
Let's make it last
Ohh, Is their [?] far away
All the colors slowly fade to gray

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

People take for granted what they have. thank God my parents taught me the grass is not greener on the other side I think God for that every day. I almost made the mistake of being with an older man who already left his family and I can’t be with somebody who already showed his true colors I want someone with a clean slate. Command can do that to his wife and children why would someone else want him to do that to them no way!!! If you have a family you are lucky no matter what time goes by quickly Like the song says, you make it last lucky to have a wife and a husband and family you’re stupid to leave them
