Passing By Lyrics by Robert Cray

Shame + A Sin

0

I get chills when I think back to

The times when we
Were hurting one another

I look back on that now

And it's good to know
That we've found some sacred ground

Sometimes like a storm
It was cold and rainy

But we got by

We lost years
Trying to find it

How in the world did we survive?

It almost died

And if we protect our love
There's a chance that we might
Make it last forever

And if we wait too long
There's a chance that we may never know

If love goes passing by

(Guitar solo)

What about starting something new?

Just the two of us, baby
Got an awful lot to do

It don't matter who was wrong
Cause I know that we can make it

Right now we've got to stay strong

At times I know it wasn't easy
But we'll get by

It's much too late
To walk away and say goodbye
And let our love die

And if we protect our love
There's a chance that we might
Make it last forever

The past is dead
The past is gone

Why take a chance that we may never know
If love goes passing by

And time wouldn't change a thing
Oh, no
It'd be a shame if we don't try

And time wouldn't change a thing
No
If love goes passing by

Oh, no
Mmmmm
