passion's pangs

and the days they seem 
to pass by so quickly
you were here and now you've gone
and slipped away so easily
between my fingers

been thinkin' lately
how would you ever know
just what you mean to me
O my darling, you'll never know
just what you mean to me
simple to see - you've smitten me
like the sting from a honey bee
it's bittersweet
imperma-laced
taste so tart
passion's pangs

O but the sun's love is
warm when it comes
burning down from above
- so magical
come deliver me
from this lunacy
that's been plaguing me
for so long
how i've longed to roam free
yeah to spread my wings
yet to never feel lonely
- is it possible?

i just don't know...
god i hope so!
is it possible?
let's make it so

has the past really come and gone?
is the future still yet to come?
how many times can this one mind be blown?
how many loves can a heart stoke once broke?

it's not so deep i know
but it is my hope
that a seed shall sow
and strong root take hold
so that our love may grow
from deep down below
so all may know
the joys of your soul

baby, this i feel -
our love is for real
even if i should only hold you for
this one moment in time
in bittersweet impermanence
you shall be mine...
you shall be mine
even if our love should slip away
through the sands of time

and if you listen up, i'll tell you why
that is the way, all things must die
so i declare our love remain
strong until our dying day

oh yeah it's bittersweet 
imperma-laced
taste so tart
passion's pangs
it's bittersweet 
imperma-laced
taste so tart
ooh baby passion's pangs
