PURPOSE OF PASSION (c) 1992 Monica E. Gómez Verse 1:  The purpose of passion is to take us by desire to hold us ‘round the heart and dance us through the fire. We go waltzing over memories, and ashes of old flames, ghosts of former lovers rise like steam. Bridge:  Our eyes shine bright as satin. We go dancing ‘round and ‘round our feet don't feel the heat, ‘cause they hardly touch the ground. Refrain:  I'm dancing in my red dress, through blue and yellow flames on black coals glowing white hot, just hissing out our names. Verse 2:  The purpose of passion is to make our souls go wild to make us want adult things with the innocence of a child. We ignore our apprehensions.  Conventions all be damned! The wild flight of courtin’ sparks simply can't be planned.  Refrain Verse 3:  The purpose of passion is to lure us into bliss, ignite our lives like tinder and distract us with a kiss. We break all our own rules.  We throw it all away. We take the kind of chances we don't take any other way. Refrain & repeat first verse
