A revision of the song Too good to ever last. Putting a positive spin on it.

Fell so hard...and fell so fast

Vs 1
When we first met, 
I never thought I could ever love you
My foolish pride,
convinced me that I was so above you


Bridge
(but...)
I love the way you stare, with your sparkling eyes
I love the way you laugh, out loud until you cry
I love the way you move, with such grace and finesse
I love the words you use, the way you catch your breath


Chorus
You see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast
I fin'ly found a love... I knew was gonna last
Now all the bad times... from all the bad loves
Are fading... now of you...I can't get enough
you see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast


Vs 2
I remember when you said 
our first kiss gave you the shivers
And every time that we 
make love I watch you gently quiver


Bridge
I love the way you stare, with your sparkling eyes
I love the way you laugh, out loud until you cry
I love the way you move, with such grace and finesse
I love the words you use, the way you catch your breath


Chorus
you see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast
I fine'ly found a love... that was gonna last
Now all  the bad times... from all the bad loves
Are fading ...now of you...  I can't get enough
You see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast


Postlude
Now in the heart of the night,
I can't stop thinking of you
And when I finally fall asleep,
I start to dream of you....


you see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast
you see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast
you see I fell so hard...and I fell so fast

repeat and fade

I'm not much of a lyricist, but this one gets two thumbs up from me, John. Light and Illumination, Gershon

You write lyrics so well, I tried, but I didn't do very well... Maybe because I'm not a musician.. so many hearts will feel your words..

Yeah that's true SO, that's why me and Greg and John Watt, and Mark Massey write them, being a musician helps a lot, but don't worry you are so outstanding in other facets of writing that it's not a problem. I can't write like you either, we all have different gifts!

Finding love can erase all the bitterness from the past. I had such a love, John, and whether it lasts or not, the beautiful memories of that kind of love never fade. Your lyrics are excellent and memorable.

Beautifully romantic, John. Loved the tone and rhythm of your song--a touch of melancholy enhances the emotions of love. Artfully done! A definite FAVE for me. All the best for much success in recording this masterpiece.

Hi John, These are some great lyrics! It's not about heartbeat, it's about love and romance. I would love to hear this on the radio. If it was in the stores, I would most definitely get a copy. Have a great evening and weekend:-) Alexis
