John Hamilton Poet Lyric

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.

Maurice Yvonne May 13, 2017 at 8:42 AM Wow, I really love this lyric. Just the type of song we love to listen to for its cathartic value. Great poem. John Hamilton May 13, 2017 at 10:56 AM Hi Armand, thanks for the thumbs up on the song, that really means a lot to me, take care!

Maria Williams May 13, 2017 at 1:14 AM Selfless and poignant John, This sad scenario enacts itself again and again all over the globe - 'The sadness in her eyes is so typical of the situation' - Most enjoyable lyric - thanks for sharing and a 7 from me ...Maria John Hamilton May 13, 2017 at 10:57 AM Thanks Maria, I do appreciate your vote of confidence in this lyric, yes it happens far too often for sure!

Anne-Marie Coreggia May 12, 2017 at 3:02 PM 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 John Hamilton May 13, 2017 at 11:00 AM 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!

Charlotte Puddifoot May 12, 2017 at 7:20 AM i know very little about song writing (though i love music and do sing) so don't feel i can comment with anything worthwhile, but i enjoyed it! John Hamilton May 13, 2017 at 11:03 AM 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!

Daniel Turner May 11, 2017 at 10:19 AM 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:) John Hamilton May 11, 2017 at 4:45 PM Thanks Danny nice to see you again!

Heidi Sands May 10, 2017 at 7:16 PM So sad John, the reader can feel the goodbye. Well done :) John Hamilton May 11, 2017 at 10:00 AM Thanks Heidi.

Chris Green May 10, 2017 at 5:14 PM 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. John Hamilton May 10, 2017 at 6:04 PM Thanks Chris, hey why not give it a go in my lost love contest!
