It Doesn'T Hurt When I Fall

It doesn't hurt when I fall Funny, how they say, that it hurts falling in love How can it hurt, when it's all you're dreaming of? I don't think I'll ever, figure it out just what it is, they keep talking about Chorus How can love hurt, when it's a beautiful feeling How does a heart break, when true love's revealing? Your voice makes me weak every time... every time you call... your loving heart surrounds me... it doesn't hurt when I fall. When you jump in cold water, it never feels nice... When you find a cold heart it's like falling through ice... You might get tired, of living, life all alone... but, it hurts more falling, on a heart made of stone Chorus How can love hurt, when it's a beautiful feeling How does a heart break, when true love's revealing? Your voice makes me weak every time... every time you call... your loving heart surrounds me... it doesn't hurt when I fall. Oh yes, your loving heart surrounds me it doesn't hurt when I fall repeat twice fade to zero John Derek Hamilton July 15,2017

wow, this is really amazing. It's not just a love song but it is a very clever one playing off the expression of falling in love. I love how you show us that it does NOT hurt. It's a fantastic fall to be taking!!

Thanks Andrea, yeah the message is, make sure to really know the person before giving your heart, a cold heart, or heart of stone definitely hurts, and it's too late after you've fallen for that person, it will only lead to heartache, thanks for your positive visits!
