John Hamilton Poet Lyric

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

Larry Bradfield July 17, 2017 at 1:56 PM Great job, John. Clever advice..the fall needs to be done right! John Hamilton July 17, 2017 at 6:55 PM Thanks Larry

Andrea Dietrich July 16, 2017 at 6:56 PM 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!! John Hamilton July 17, 2017 at 8:41 AM 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!
