Another Lover's Touch

Another lover's touch There's never been a love, that's ever been enough... You keep searching for... another lover's touch Why do I even try, I should stop wasting time... You say that we are fine... we both know that's a lie Chorus I can see the ending, in our book of love... Well I try and I try and I try, but it's not enough... I see the curtain falling on our romantic play.... I never thought our love ... would end this way I remember that first look, the first chapter of our book... We thought we'd found a love that would never die The days turned into weeks, so many nights without sleep... The love we felt was an unrelenting fire Chorus I can see the ending, in our book of love... Well I try and I try and I try, but it's not enough... I see the curtain falling on our romantic play.... I never thought our love... would end this way Chorus I can see the ending, in our book of love... Well I try and I try and I try, but it's not enough... I see the curtain falling on our romantic play.... I never thought our love... would end this way There's never been a love, that's ever been enough... You keep... searching... for another... lover's... touch. John Derek Hamilton November 22,2019

Thanks Michael, I actually have this song recorded with vocals and music but can't post it as it is being pitched now, so lets see where things go with this one.

This was the one I had viewed just several months ago. Yes, it's SO pretty! Notes in hotmail.

I just had the song recorded, mixed, arranged and produced I found an amazing composer and singer...I've got a great feeling about this one. We may both hear it on the radio soon!! High hopes!

I see we have a common theme. We are both fortunate to be writing fiction. ;0) great job.

It's true, great to be able to write this, and have it just be creativity, not authentic feelings. Thanks for picking up on that Rick, nice to see you pass by with a great comment!

One shouldn't always look for another's touch! A shame so many do but you have written so well into a perfect song John! I enjoyed it very much and would surely buy it when it comes out!;)

Thanks Brenda I'm glad you liked it enough to comment, not sure if anything will come of it but like you I wait for the music to be done!

Sad but beautiful song John--I would love to hear the audio of this--The opening and closing lines of your poem speak for many broken hearts.

Thanks Vijay, glad you enjoyed this one. The audio is a hard thing to get done quickly. Most artists put priority on their own songs first so my songs are not priority so that's why it takes a year or more to get the music done. Thanks for your interest!

Love can truly be enough, to hold you close, to keep you coming back- for one more touch. You have to be willing to give your Whole Heart. The one receiving needs to do the same. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. ~ Brandy

So sad...Always searching for the unattainable...Would love to hear the music to this.

It did remind me of the one I posted yesterday. Wonderful to hear that your lyrics will be brought to life outside of the page. I really look forward to hearing the final product :)

Thanks MA, your poem kind of was an inspiration for this one, never being satisfied is fatal to a relationship. thanks for your kind visit and complimentary words! The music will take some time, I do have a few composers working on a few of these lyrics, but it is a long process!

Thanks WW, I always look forward to your visits, you are always so supportive. I did see your post, but you know Lin, Tom and I don't celebrate it right? That's ok thanks for thinking of me, you are a great guy!

I love this one John. It would sound so beautiful sing... sad yet so beautiful. Sometimes we never find that touch that satisfies. :). Excellent penning ... hugs

Nothing worse then someone making you feel as though you aren’t enough... been there ... never again ... my heart’s heavily guarded

Thanks Sandy, I knew you would like this one, too bad some are never satisfied with who they have, and are always looking for something else, probably why so many marriages fail. Glad you liked this one!

Heidi Sands

This is great John! You write these so well. They can be felt when reading and I can imagine how powerful it is to hear with music. Excellent :)

John Hamilton

Thanks Heidi, yeah I'm hoping this one will get put to music, here's to hoping! Glad you came by today with your complimentary words!

I love that hook, really cool John. That is something that one could sing over and over again. Very catchy and the theme is easy to relate to.

John Hamilton
Date: 11/22/2019 3:16:00 PM

Thanks Chris glad you like it, yeah I like the hook too, too bad it is a theme that is so relatable. How many marriages could be helped by just being content, and not always looking for something else!

you should start your own book of music lyrics.... always enjoy them, but love to see what they are like when sung..

I have 3 songs that are being worked on by composers so hopefully there will be some to post soon. I was thinking of a lyric webpage to promote them...let's see how it goes. Thanks for your constant support!
