Passionate Man (w/m Jim Proctor)
Is one love elusive?
Are you my true love?
A world of such beauty
Rush in you fools.
Go out and breathe deeply
The many loves touch you
Then go home to your love
Where restlessness rules.
Maybe no one said love lasts forever
But I don’t want you to slip through my hands
Or is this the price I pay as a passionate man?
You say I’m unfaithful
Though I’ve never cheated
But passion adds color
There’s less black and white.
These rings are a promise
To mingle our passions
But truth cuts you both ways
Then my heart takes flight.
Maybe no one said love lasts forever
But I don’t want you to slip through my hands
Or is this the price I pay as a passionate man?
For one love to matter
Then all loves must enter
Please show me your passion
Can you trust my passion?
To love life is passion.
Maybe no one said love lasts forever
But I don’t want you to slip through my hands
Or is this the price I pay as a passionate man?
Maybe fear is what freezes your passion
If you’d just show me then I’d understand
It’s the greatest gift you’d give to this passionate man.
