Sweet is the passion of innocent youth
Raptured by beauty, unaltered by truth
To live in the moment, to live in the dream  
Is written in star dust and floats on a beam

Lost is the radiance of love through the years
But a sweet little Valentine wipes away tears
Something is lost, and yet something is gained
And will still be alive in the years that remain

Sweet is the passion that’s mellowed with age
When a kiss has the polish and mind of a sage
And the flesh knows no secrets and yet in its grace
It finds new beginnings of love to embrace

Who is the soul who would want to return
To days of a wild fire too eager to burn
When sizzling embers in tranquil demur
Can explode into flames with the slightest of stir

Good rhythm and flow to this one, Elizabeth, just as sweet passion has its rhythm.
