Listen to poem:

Another Lovers Touch Song Version

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.

Hi Charlotte I'm glad you enjoyed the song, it is one of six that I have had produced, I've been writing songs since the 80's, it comes easily to me, more so than poetry. My pleasure to give your poem top place, I am always so impressed with your writing. Thanks for your kind visit!

Your words and the music meld together to create a moving piece that most all of us can relate to at some time in our lives. The singer you chose did a wonderful job bringing out the deep emotions felt by heartbreak. A wonderful achievement John! I am so happy for you. Songwriting isn’t as easy as most would think. Congratulations on your POTD honors. I wish you much success with your future with it, as it is timeless in content. I am Faving it. Blessings xxoo
