  • Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
    Two shadows starting to softly combine
    The picture they're painting
    Is one of the heart
    And to those who have seen it
    It's a true work of art

    Oh, the red strokes
    Passions uncaged
    Thundering moments of tenderness rage
    Oh, the red strokes
    Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
    Burning the night like the dawn

    Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
    Two hearts have never pounded like this
    Inspired by a vision
    That they can't command
    Erasing the borders
    With each brush of a hand

    Oh, the red strokes
    Passions uncaged
    Thundering moments of tenderness rage
    Oh, the red strokes
    Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
    Burning the night like the dawn

    Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
    But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen

    Oh, the red strokes
    Passions uncaged
    Thundering moments of tenderness rage
    Oh, the red strokes
    Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
    Burning the night like the dawn

    Oh, the red strokes
    Passions uncaged
    Thundering moments of tenderness rage
    Oh, the red strokes
    Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
    Burning the night like the dawn

    Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
    Two hearts have never pounded like this Writer/s: JAMES GARVER, JENNY L. YATES, LISA A. SANDERSON, TROYAL GARTH BROOKS
