Hidden Desires of the Heart

Hidden desires of the heart You said that it was time, there's no more time left for us even though I showed you my scars so if you really leave me darling, please believe me that it's the final dagger to my heart Chorus So goodbye, my love, goodbye I'll never forget all that we had. I can see that you are going, but my love will keep growing, even though we're miles apart... They say that, time is a healer, but...it's also a revealer of hidden desires of the heart. So, just remember baby, all the love I've given lately, that I've really done my part I've seen the sadness in your eyes, so it comes as no surprise, that you're going to break my heart Chorus So goodbye, my love, goodbye I'll never forget all that we had. I can see that you are going, but my love will keep growing, even though we're miles apart... They say that, time is a healer, but...it's also a revealer of hidden desires of the heart. I wish all the best for you just remember I adore you and that I loved you from the start I'll keep the love light burning and for you, I'll keep on yearning even though you've broke my heart Chorus So goodbye, my love, goodbye I'll never forget all that we had. I can see that you are going, but my love will keep growing, even though we're miles apart... They say that, time is a healer, but...it's also a revealer of hidden desires of the heart. chorus repeat fade. John Derek Hamilton May 10,2017

Wow, I really love this lyric. Just the type of song we love to listen to for its cathartic value. Great poem.

I so so wish there could be music playing in the background with your lyrics because they are beautiful John, and the repetition enhanced the sadness of it all. Amitiés

Thanks Anne-Marie, glad you liked it, and am also happy you understand lyrics, as being different from poems. Some criticize the repetition, but that is the nature of songs, right? Gotta have the hook! Thanks again!

Thanks Charlotte, I do appreciate the visit, and your honesty. It is rather different songwriting, as compared to poetry. I find writing songs easier for me, so I take the easy way out, not like you, you like the very cerebral approach which I love and admire the thought and work that goes into it. Thanks for the visit!

It is my opinion, once we truly love someone, we always carry them in our hearts, regardless of what transpires. Beautifully expressed in your lyrics John:)

This was nice John and your songs says it like it should be said, though sadly that is not always the case. Really cool my friend.
