John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Lost In a Fantasy Repost

Lost in a fantasy

Thoughts... invade my mind,
stuck on rewind....
as I'm still ...missing you

Frozen emotions...
keep fogging... up my view

What happened to...
all the promises... that we made?

How could our yesterdays...
suddenly... go up in flames?

My sleeping beauty...
how could you...forget this?

That, I your prince charming...
came and woke you..with a kiss!

Bridge 1
Then you said...you were...
waiting for me...

lost in a fantasy

Chorus
When your love, is all gone...you can find it
in a...once upon a time
Yes you'll find the gold...at the end of a rainbow
in a...once upon a time
in a...once upon a time

I searched...the world over...
trying to fit ... a glass shoe

I found you in cinders...
but the... glass shoe, fit you

Bridge 1
Then you said...you were...
waiting for me...

lost in a fantasy


Chorus
When your love, is all gone...you can find it
in a...once upon a time
Yes you'll find the gold...at the end of a rainbow
in a...once upon a time
in a...once upon a time

Bridge 2
Our rainbows exploded...
shattering all our dreams...
love's rarely as it seems

Chorus
When your love, is all gone...you can find it
in a...once upon a time
Yes you'll find the gold...at the end of a rainbow
in a...once upon a time
in a...once upon a time

in a...once upon a time
in a...once upon a time

repeat and fade to zero

Arturo Michael June 7, 2020 at 9:51 AM I'm interested in the type of the music you like...the format is popular...verse. bridge, chorus...the choice of melody...would say a lot... John Hamilton June 7, 2020 at 1:30 PM Hi Arturo, I like all kinds of music, my lyrics have been recorded in a Country style, however I have a few more recent ones have been recorded in an Adult Contemporary style, with a pop twist, glad you like it! If you check out my My heart has found a home, and I've forgotten how to love there is the music and vocals also! Thanks again!

Richard Lamoureux June 4, 2020 at 7:46 AM Do you write music to go with your exceptional words? I enjoyed this piece. John Hamilton June 4, 2020 at 11:06 AM I can but there are so many lyrics now I have 3 composers working on them. Thanks Rick, glad you liked it. Hey did you see that movie I mentioned, it really reminded me of you!

Charles Messina June 1, 2020 at 10:03 PM Great Lyric, John. You should put music to this gem. Sooner not later (lol) Charlie John Hamilton June 2, 2020 at 9:13 AM Hi Charlie, thanks for the nice comment, I do have a few composers now and they are slowly putting music to some of my best writes, this one is low on the priority but will get done, no doubt, in time!

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders May 31, 2020 at 7:52 PM I love the lyrics, John! It has all the elements of a great love song...I would love to hear it sung to music. xx Rhonda John Hamilton June 1, 2020 at 3:05 PM Thanks Rhonda yeah a love song gone wrong, I appreciate your kind words!

Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2020 at 5:33 PM This would make the perfect song, John. It's so neat how you even put bridges into your songs. Not to mention the beautiful chorus. I think the Once upon a time lines are so clever. John Hamilton May 29, 2020 at 6:08 PM Thanks Andrea so glad you liked it!
