John Hamilton Poet Lyric

It's So Hard Not To Love You

It's so hard not to love you

Thinking back on life...
I think of you...
all my desires...
my dreams came true

Your innocence...
kept calling out to me
there was nothing else...
that I could do

Bridge
We were young, just trying to make memories...
with more ups and downs than on a trampoline

Chorus
And so you're gone!...
Now what should I think?
I'm living on the brink,
I'm on the ledge without you...
I can't go on...
It's too hard to go back
the wheels fell off the tracks
It's so hard not to love you!
It's so hard not to love you!

You and me together...
just felt right...
like a hand in glove...
when it was cold

How could you forget...
those tender nights
lying by the fire...
warming our toes

Bridge
We were young, just trying to make memories...
with more ups and downs than on a trampoline

Chorus
And so you're gone!...
Now what should I think?
I'm living on the brink,
I'm on the ledge without you...
I can't go on...
It's too hard to go back
the wheels fell off the tracks
It's so hard not to love you!
It's so hard not to love you!


I never thought that...
things could end this way
we were in love...
in a world so cold

I never thought that you...
could ever stray
our bond can't be broken...
or so I was told

Bridge
We were young, just trying to make memories...
with more ups and downs than on a trampoline

Chorus
And so you're gone!...
Now what should I think?
I'm living on the brink,
I'm on the ledge without you...
I can't go on...
It's too hard to go back
the wheels fell off the tracks
It's so hard not to love you!
It's so hard not to love you!

It's so hard not to love you!
It's so hard not to love you!

repeat and fade

Sunlite Wanter October 3, 2018 at 6:39 PM I'm always fussing about the shallow lyrics i hear in "today's" music. You shut my mouth! John Hamilton October 3, 2018 at 6:55 PM Thanks SW a good song is a good song, and a lot depends on the lyrics, I agree with you, lyrics generally today are lacking especially in pop music!

Vijay Pandit October 3, 2018 at 6:32 PM A melancholy song that tugs the heart..bittersweet memories..wonder if you sing your own songs or have them put to music, John..you certainly have the talents to write lyrics. John Hamilton October 3, 2018 at 6:53 PM Thanks Vijay, I don't sing well enough to record my songs so I'm always looking for others to fill in the blanks so to speak, thanks for your positive reviews!
