John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Listen to poem:

Save a dying love

Save a dying love

Can't change history, though they try to flee
How does happiness turn so sad?
When two lovers meet, they may plant the seed
Why do two hearts turn out so bad?

Chorus

Two hearts grow apart
Seems they've lost the spark
How to save a dying love?
Can they show they care?
Will they always be there?
How to save a dying love?

Neither wants to change, neither wants the blame
If only their feelings could stay the same
Then one fateful day, they find out one has strayed
How can true love survive this way?

Chorus

Two hearts grow apart
Seems they've lost the spark
How to save a dying love?
Can they show they care?
Will they always be there?
How to save a dying love?

Damned emotions break, releasing a flood
Forgiving hearts don't hate, they cover with love
Stop living a lie, both need to give love a try
Forgiveness is better than saying goodbye

Chorus

Two hearts grow apart
Seems they've lost the spark
How to save a dying love?
Can they show they care?
Will they always be there?
How to save a dying love?

Stop living a lie, both need to give love a try
Forgiveness is better than saying goodbye

That's how to save a dying love!
That's how to save a dying love!

CayCay Godwin September 5, 2025 at 4:48 PM Reminds me of a Dave Mason song, can't remember which one because it's been many moons since I listened to him. I loved his lyrics on many songs, and I love these, they are relatable and emotional. John, did I embarrass you about your pic so you took it off your blog? 1,111 apologies if I did, didn't mean to. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (I'll go erase my compliments) John Hamilton September 6, 2025 at 7:36 PM No I'm close to Toronto actually Niagara region EST same as NY for reference. CayCay Godwin September 6, 2025 at 4:47 PM Good to know I didn't make you feel awkward. I had said hi to your face and commented on (since you aren't embarrassed) what a good-looking face it is. Was surprised to learn you're in NY (city?), I imagined you in a foreign locale. Sent you a Soup message to pls answer. CayCay John Hamilton September 6, 2025 at 11:46 AM Thanks Cay Cay I know I can always count on you for a nice comment. No I didn't see your comment on my blog, I didn't do anything to the picture, I know poetrysoup has had some glitches lately, so no worries. Are you interested in a zoom meet and greet?
