about

The complexity of love and passion in its earliest stages is the framework for “Make It Happen,” featuring Tami Lynn and Harold Battiste. There is a spark, feelings are ignited, there is anticipation! Lynn’s passionate vocals are matched with punctuations from an electric guitar and smooth keys in this ballad creating a feeling of hopeful desperation. Here, McNealy’s arrangement abilities are on full display: Moments when the band drops out to showcase a rushing keyboard run into the next rendition of the chorus to create dynamic, emotional peaks in an already moving song. McNealy composed the song in 1979.

lyrics

MAKE IT HAPPEN
(Love Me Again)

Tomorrow will you still want me?
Are your words really true?
Are you really in love
‘Cause I’m falling in love with you

It’s not easy
When you live your life
Divided in two
I’m falling in love
I’m falling in love with you

Make it happen
Before the moment ends
Make it happen
Please don’t pretend

Make it happen
Just one more time and then
Love me again
Please don’t pretend

Tomorrow is in your eyes
And I think I can see
You’re falling in love
Are you falling in love
Falling in love with me

Make it happen
Run to my arms and love me today
Don’t go away
Make it happen

Each time you touch me then
I want you to stay
Make it happen
