Make It Last Forever
Donny Osmond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mistakes I know I've made along the way.
Times I know your heart was taken for granted,
But it always seems to lead me back to you.
Meant to turn the hurt around.
I'd be a fool to lose the love I've found.
Starting here and now
I wanna make it last forever,
And always keep this love together.
I wanna make it last forever
And hold you in my arms forever more.
I know it's hard sometimes to talk to me.
The words don't always come so easily
But starting here and now,
There's one thing for certain.
Oh you know I'll make it up to you somehow,
If you'll only know that
I wanna make it last forever,
And always keep this love together.
I wanna make it last forever
And hold you in my arms forever more.
More than I could ever show it,
More than you would ever know it,
I'm gonna give back everything
For all you give to me.
Just as sure as you were always there to love me,
Constant as the stars above me,
No one's gonna love you like I do.
Stronger than before,
I'm gonna love you even more
I wanna make it last forever,
And always keep this love together.
I wanna make it last forever
And hold you in my arms forever more.

The bridge then reaffirms the singer's love for their partner, claiming that they are stronger than before and their love will only grow.
