John Hamilton Poet Lyric

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.

M.P. Shaudd July 14, 2020 at 4:46 PM John, another nice write. Mike John Hamilton July 14, 2020 at 10:11 PM 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.

Andrea Dietrich June 21, 2020 at 4:23 PM This was the one I had viewed just several months ago. Yes, it's SO pretty! Notes in hotmail. John Hamilton June 22, 2020 at 11:26 AM Thanks Andrea I'm so glad you liked this one, hopefully we'll hear it on the radio soon!

Andrea Dietrich November 28, 2019 at 8:13 PM wow, this would make an outstanding song, John. Would love to hear it one day on the radio! John Hamilton June 10, 2020 at 3:52 PM 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! John Hamilton May 10, 2020 at 10:00 AM Thanks Andrea just finished the music, looking for a singer to record it! John Hamilton November 29, 2019 at 9:36 AM Thanks Andrea, you and me both, but you know how hard that is, but hopefully the music will get done!

Joseph May November 26, 2019 at 3:35 PM A romantic play comes with tragedy...Wonderful Lyric John.. John Hamilton November 26, 2019 at 4:10 PM Thanks Joseph glad you liked it enough to comment, thanks for the kind visit!

Richard Lamoureux November 26, 2019 at 8:15 AM I see we have a common theme. We are both fortunate to be writing fiction. ;0) great job. John Hamilton November 26, 2019 at 9:05 AM 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!

Brenda Chiri November 24, 2019 at 3:18 AM 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!;) John Hamilton May 10, 2020 at 10:01 AM Hi Brenda music's been done just looking for a singer to record it...coming soon! John Hamilton November 24, 2019 at 8:20 AM 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!

Vijay Pandit November 23, 2019 at 6:59 AM 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. John Hamilton November 23, 2019 at 3:57 PM 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!

Brandy Nicole November 22, 2019 at 11:40 PM 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 John Hamilton November 23, 2019 at 8:06 AM Thanks Brandy I'm glad you liked it enough to comment always a pleasure to see you pass by my way!

Regina Mcintosh November 22, 2019 at 11:14 PM Sad but the way of things sometimes. Love this. It's a wonderful lyric... God bless you dear friend, Gina John Hamilton November 23, 2019 at 8:05 AM Thanks Gina I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for your kind words.

Midnight Aurora November 22, 2019 at 2:56 PM So sad...Always searching for the unattainable...Would love to hear the music to this. Midnight Aurora November 22, 2019 at 3:40 PM 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 :) John Hamilton November 22, 2019 at 3:25 PM 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!

Winged Warrior November 22, 2019 at 2:55 PM You've got the lyrical touch, Johnny Boy...great lyrics, as usual, my friend...check out my latest post for a chuckle John...^WW^ :o) Winged Warrior November 22, 2019 at 3:57 PM No problem my friend...should have known...my bad...still love ya man...^WW^:o) John Hamilton November 22, 2019 at 3:22 PM 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!

Sandra Adams November 22, 2019 at 2:22 PM 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 Sandra Adams November 22, 2019 at 4:17 PM Nothing worse then someone making you feel as though you aren’t enough... been there ... never again ... my heart’s heavily guarded John Hamilton November 22, 2019 at 3:20 PM 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 November 22, 2019 at 2:14 PM 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 November 22, 2019 at 3:18 PM 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!

Chris Green November 22, 2019 at 1:31 PM 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 November 22, 2019 at 3:16 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!

Silent One November 22, 2019 at 1:07 PM you should start your own book of music lyrics.... always enjoy them, but love to see what they are like when sung.. John Hamilton November 22, 2019 at 1:26 PM 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!
