Lost In a Fantasy Repost

Lost in a fantasy Thoughts... invade my mind, stuck on rewind.... as I'm still ...missing you Frozen emotions... keep fogging... up my view What happened to... all the promises... that we made? How could our yesterdays... suddenly... go up in flames? My sleeping beauty... how could you...forget this? That, I your prince charming... came and woke you..with a kiss! Bridge 1 Then you said...you were... waiting for me... lost in a fantasy Chorus When your love, is all gone...you can find it in a...once upon a time Yes you'll find the gold...at the end of a rainbow in a...once upon a time in a...once upon a time I searched...the world over... trying to fit ... a glass shoe I found you in cinders... but the... glass shoe, fit you Bridge 1 Then you said...you were... waiting for me... lost in a fantasy Chorus When your love, is all gone...you can find it in a...once upon a time Yes you'll find the gold...at the end of a rainbow in a...once upon a time in a...once upon a time Bridge 2 Our rainbows exploded... shattering all our dreams... love's rarely as it seems Chorus When your love, is all gone...you can find it in a...once upon a time Yes you'll find the gold...at the end of a rainbow in a...once upon a time in a...once upon a time in a...once upon a time in a...once upon a time repeat and fade to zero John Derek Hamilton October 29,2017 Re-posted May 25 2020

I'm interested in the type of the music you like...the format is popular...verse. bridge, chorus...the choice of melody...would say a lot...

Hi Arturo, I like all kinds of music, my lyrics have been recorded in a Country style, however I have a few more recent ones have been recorded in an Adult Contemporary style, with a pop twist, glad you like it! If you check out my My heart has found a home, and I've forgotten how to love there is the music and vocals also! Thanks again!

Do you write music to go with your exceptional words? I enjoyed this piece.

I can but there are so many lyrics now I have 3 composers working on them. Thanks Rick, glad you liked it. Hey did you see that movie I mentioned, it really reminded me of you!

Hi Charlie, thanks for the nice comment, I do have a few composers now and they are slowly putting music to some of my best writes, this one is low on the priority but will get done, no doubt, in time!

This would make the perfect song, John. It's so neat how you even put bridges into your songs. Not to mention the beautiful chorus. I think the Once upon a time lines are so clever.

Thanks Eve, for the visit and comment, yes it is sad when the fantasy of love meets reality, sometimes doesn't work in real life the same as one hopes. Glad you came by today!
