John Hamilton Poet Lyric

And So You'Re Gone

AND SO YOU’RE GONE

And so you’re gone…
now what should I do? 
My love…

Should I keep on believing, 
you’ll come back to me?
I might go insane, 
as I sit here waiting

What about the memories, 
etched deep in my brain?

I can hope…
cause there’s always hope…
My love…

That you’ll understand your feelings, 
and come home to me!
I might go insane, 
as I’m contemplating

What about the memories, 
etched deep in my brain?

Bridge
I don’t know…the best way to go
Start again…and live without you
Hope to find another friend…or
I could sit here and keep waiting
Ooohhh!!

And so you’re gone…
now what should I do? 
My love…

Should I keep on believing, 
you’ll come back to me?
I might go insane, 
as I sit here waiting

What about the memories, 
etched deep in my brain?

I can hope…
cause there’s always hope…
My love…

That you’ll understand your feelings, 
and come home to me!
I might go insane, 
as I’m contemplating

What about the memories, 
etched deep in my brain?

Bridge repeat and fade

Susan Ashley July 11, 2018 at 9:53 PM John, such sad waves of painful emotions wash over me as I read your heartbreaking lyrics John. It's so hard to come to grips with life when you're in love's limbo, caught between reluctantly moving forward or desperately waiting in hope. Your yearning for the desired outcome is expressed with poignant beauty. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD honors with your deeply moving song. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan John Hamilton July 11, 2018 at 10:21 PM Thanks Susan, I appreciate your kind words and visit!

Andrea Dietrich July 8, 2018 at 5:22 PM I enjoyed your newest song lyrics, John. It would be all that a person could do to keep from going crazy in a situation like this! (thanks for your sonnet contest. It was fun to contemplate my best sonnet, though probably there was another one maybe better!) John Hamilton July 8, 2018 at 9:36 PM Thanks Andrea, the contest was very tough to judge as you can see.
