about

To some listeners, this song might seem to be about people who have been together a long time or reached a certain age.

Yet I wrote it for lovers of all ages who have reached a certain stage in their relationship. When the passion seems to have waned, can they get it back?

lyrics

He wonders where the urge has gone
To reach across the way
To touch her lonely loveliness
And excite another day

She sees him read and wonders why
He loves his books so well
How could they match the drama of
Her body’s kiss and tell

Suddenly feelings rise
They taste what they both crave
But oh it’s just a memory
The passion ghost
Is not far away

They smile goodnight, their fingers touch
No tenderness denied
The bedroom door is open but
Will the moment live or die

The shadows play a guessing game
As man and wife recline
What drove them close in years gone by
That will not come alive

Suddenly feelings rise
They taste what they both crave
But oh it’s just a memory
The passion ghost
Has flown away
