Can'T Get Over You

Can't get over you It's hard to go to bed at night, knowing you're not there The emptiness I feel inside, is more than I can bear I need to try and get some sleep, 'cause it's way past two A M I must have counted a thousand sheep, my mind's stuck in mayhem My eyelids are a heavy load, but I'm still wide awake I'll keep pretending that you're here, or else my heart will break Bridge That's the way it goes, Will she come back? Only God knows Chorus I can't get over you, I just can't get over you... Even when I have a dream, your mem'ry crashes through I've never ever felt such pain, knowing things can never be the same I just can't get over you. I think back to the day we met, and how your eyes would shine Now I see they've lost their luster, and we can't go back in time I can't go out to the places, that we used to go I can't face familiar faces, 'cause I know that they all know Bridge That's the way it goes, Will she come back? Only God knows Chorus I can't get over you, I just can't get over you... Even when I have a dream, your mem'ry crashes through I've never ever felt such pain, knowing things can never be the same I just can't get over you. I hope that you'll find everything, that your heart desires All that's left is to keep praying, that my tears put out these fires Chorus I can't get over you, I just can't get over you... Even when I have a dream, your mem'ry crashes through I've never ever felt such pain, knowing things can never be the same I just can't get over you. It's hard to go to bed at night, knowing you're not there. May 23, 2019 John Derek Hamilton

I'm in love with this song. It is perfect in every way. Truly, John - this is an emotional winner, a song people would blast when alone and sing along to with their whole heart. You should go on that new songwriter show, are you familiar with it? I've only seen commercials but from them alone, I think it is a show you might belong on. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks Cay Cay for your nice compliment. I'm more a lyricist as I'm not a singer/performer(although I can compose music) thankfully I've connected with a few great producers who are working on the vocal arrangements for me. I'll never forget you were one of a few who encouraged me from the very beginning on the soup, and for that I am grateful.
