There was a touch of red in the pink sunset
A sense of sorrow in our touching
"This cannot be the end," she said
I said, "Welcome to the new world of loving"
But neither of us were speaking clearly
Our thoughts were lost far away
Between the ecstasy of one night together
And the thought of losing the light of day
Now I'm making it through the morning
I'm making it through the night
And I'm making it, making it, making it
I'm making it right
Isn't it peculiar, you can't measure it with a ruler
The time any life or love might last
Still we made that vow, it was like a sacred cow
We feasted on after a fevered fast
And you can't make our story fit
Into a tragedy like Romeo and Juliet
I can only say we had our time in the sun
It was an experience I can't forget
Now I'm making it through the morning
I'm making it through the night
And I'm making it, making it, making it
I'm making it right
Because somehow I know it's not over
And it doesn't matter if it was her or I
That put an untimely pause to heaven's applause
All I know is that it's my turn to try
So I'm making it through the morning
I'm gonna make it through this dark night
And I'm making it, making it, making it
I'm making it back to you, if it's the last thing I do
Girl, this time I'll make it right
So now we're making it every morning
We're making it every night
We're making it, making it
Though once we were breaking it
This time we're making it right
