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 John Derek Hamilton October 03,2018

I'm always fussing about the shallow lyrics i hear in "today's" music. You shut my mouth!

John Hamilton
Date: 10/3/2018 6:55:00 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!

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.

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!
