Picking Up the Pieces of My Heart

PICKING UP THE PIECES OF MY HEART Thunderstorms and lightening, Can be very frightening, Stormy weather keeps reminding me of you Sometimes I don’t feel like waking, My emotions keep on quaking, And, my heart keeps breaking over you Where’s my happy ever after The rain drowns all the laughter Hope hangs from the rafters, after losing you Chorus Picking up the pieces of my heart This time you have gone way too far I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart (Now I'm) picking up the pieces of my heart I always thought we’d be together After promising forever Forever’s gone, now that the tethers torn in two Now my summers turned to winter And my hearts left in splinters You must have felt that I would hinder you Chorus Picking up the pieces of my heart This time you have gone way too far I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart (Now I'm) picking up the pieces of my heart Bridge You can’t tell when love begins If it will last, or if it ends Isn’t that the mystery of it all The ecstasy when love rises, and the crashing as it falls Chorus Picking up the pieces of my heart This time you have gone way too far I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart (Now I'm) picking up the pieces of my heart I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart Now I’m, picking up the pieces of my heart I can see it clearly, loving you wasn’t that smart Now I’m picking up the pieces of my heart John Derek Hamilton January 03,2019

There can be no greater joy than the gift of love and no greater pain when love ends! You have poignantly captured the passionate ambiguity that often accompanies romantic love John, superbly! I love this! Bravo! Blessings for a wonderful new year! : ) xxoo
