John Hamilton Poet Lyric

I'Ve Forgotten How To Love

(Now) I've forgotten how to love


Can you help me?
I've lost my feelings,
since you left...
Won't you please...return them!

You are the only, love I've known,
And now, you've left me here alone....

baby

Chorus

Now, I've forgotten how to love...
since you took my love away,
the day, you walked away from me...
Now, I've forgotten how to feel...
the only thing ...I feel is numb...

I still want you...


I've gone blind now...

Now, I just stumble in the dark,
feeding the pigeons in the park,

You were the reason I could see,
You were the reason I believed,

baby

Chorus

Now, I've forgotten how to love...
since you took my love away,
the day, you walked away from me...
Now, I've forgotten how to feel....
the only thing... I feel is numb...

I still need you...



I've gone deaf now...

there are no words, that I can hear,
you were the one, that said them...

You were the reason for my life...
because of you I have survived...

until now...

Chorus

Now, I've forgotten how to love...
since you took my love away,
the day, you walked away from me...
Now, I've forgotten how to feel....
the only thing I feel is numb...

I still love you...

baby,

repeat chorus and fade to zero

Silent One August 22, 2017 at 7:52 AM Someone stole your lyrics? That is sad,but you are a talented lyricist.. well written, I hope no one forgets how to love.. that is when hate starts.. John Hamilton August 22, 2017 at 11:31 AM So true SO, it was over 30 years ago, so it's all good now, thanks for the positive comment and visit!

Andrea Dietrich August 20, 2017 at 4:54 PM OMG, to think a famous song was yours. Incredible. Can you tell me its name so I could hear it on youtube maybe? If I were you, I would let everyone know those were YOUR lyrics. John Hamilton August 20, 2017 at 9:18 PM I told a record producer and he said that band was well known for lifting(stealing,using sampling) whatever you want to call it cest la vie.

Andrea Dietrich August 19, 2017 at 7:58 PM you say five out of 100. I think even THAT is very generous. There are really good songwriters who never get past Youtube. Have you gotten any at all out there? Ryan made an awesome tune for my Honeymoon Serenade and some German band is selling downloads of their version and I am not even given credit for the lyrics. It really sucks. By the way,thanks for that contest. It inspires me to have to use given words sometimes!! John Hamilton August 20, 2017 at 11:20 AM Thanks Andrea, I had a lyric lifted in 1981, song went to #2 here in Canada, turned me off songwriting for 30 years, I always did it just never tried to publish any of them. Entertainment business is full of crooks, oh well, thanks for the visit!

Ralph Sergi August 16, 2017 at 4:18 PM He lost his love and two of his senses. I guess you can say, what sense does love make? A sad but great poem ,John.! John Hamilton August 17, 2017 at 2:52 PM Funny one Ralph, Thanks for the visit and nice comment!

Andrea Dietrich August 11, 2017 at 8:44 PM Blind AND deaf. He is a goner!! John, I hope one day you can have a hit song . Nobody does so well at composing such lyrical poetry that could be set to music! John Hamilton August 12, 2017 at 4:46 PM I hope so too, let's see what happens, they say only 5 out of 100 make it to radio, so I should be good for a few I think! Thanks for your vote of confidence!

Alesia Leach August 11, 2017 at 5:50 PM Wonderful lyrics! Love poetry I can sing with! John Hamilton August 11, 2017 at 7:46 PM Thanks Alesia glad you could sing along, that's the best compliment!

Winged Warrior August 9, 2017 at 6:56 PM A superb hit my friend...sadly I can relate...you took the lyrics right out of mouth lol...god bless...^WW^ John Hamilton August 9, 2017 at 7:12 PM Yeah unfortunately too many can relate to these lyrics, thanks for the fly by WW, I do appreciate the thumbs up!!

Gregory Richard Barden August 7, 2017 at 10:31 PM This is great, John, and I hear a mid-tempo ballad happening, one that builds with energy throughout, with the verse in a minor key and the chorus major ... in the vein of "Ill Be Over You" (Toto), though that's all major. Awesome lyric, my friend ... superb! John Hamilton January 29, 2018 at 2:51 PM btw Greg, I had the lyrics music composed, maybe who knows if it will be a hit, here's hoping! John Hamilton August 8, 2017 at 10:04 AM Thanks Greg, well as you know if someone can "hear" a melody in the read, then that's a good sign of a quality write. I appreciate the thumbs up on this one. I agree minor key in the verses creates a sad tone for sure. I am glad you liked this one, your opinion as a fellow songwriter I value very much.

Vijay Pandit August 7, 2017 at 7:47 PM Beautiful lyric--feel like singing! John Hamilton August 7, 2017 at 7:48 PM That's the point, if you can hear the tune in the read, I'm satisfied, thanks for the visit Vijay!

Charlie Smith August 7, 2017 at 7:41 PM Like this one John... John Hamilton August 7, 2017 at 7:47 PM Nice to see you Charlie, thanks for the fly by, glad you like it, felt good as it flowed.

Agnes Krampe August 7, 2017 at 6:56 PM Now it needs a tune :) John Hamilton August 7, 2017 at 7:46 PM Thanks Agnes, yeah your right, working on it, hey check out my such a beautiful feeling, has a melody posted now!

Heidi Sands August 7, 2017 at 6:49 PM That one is definetly a powerful lost love song lyric John. Well done :) John Hamilton August 7, 2017 at 7:45 PM Thanks Heidi, this one came fast, so I thought it might be good, glad you like it!
