John Hamilton Poet Lyric

There's No Way I'M Giving Up On You

There's no way I'm giving up on you

We've been together-seems like forever
it's been sublime spending my life with you

In our existence- there is a distance
There's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!

I can't forget- the way you left
there was no life living without you

Such strange delusions- with no solutions
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!

Bridge
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!

Time keeps flowing- the years keep showing,
all the damage that this life can do

In love's deep ocean-there lies devotion
My hearts aching as I think of you
'Cause I still love you!

Bridge
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!

Repeat bridge and fade

John Fleming January 2, 2019 at 12:00 AM You should upload this as an audio file, John...it would sound rather good accompanied by the electric guitar -- Enjoyed the read! May I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful and prosperous New Year - all the very best! :) john John Hamilton January 2, 2019 at 12:11 PM Thanks John I have a lot of these lyrics being worked on as we speak, melody, music etc. Check out my two lyrics Sometimes...and My heart has found a home, done up with music and vocals. Take care John hope the new years brings good things!

Phil Capitano January 1, 2019 at 8:27 AM Another classic lyric from the prolific pen of J.D. Hamilton. Perseverance is a necessity in a relationship and you proved how important it is with this song. Well done. John Hamilton January 1, 2019 at 9:41 AM Thanks Phil for passing by with your kind comments, have a great day!

Gordon Mcconnell December 19, 2018 at 2:54 AM Nice piece John, lovely lyrics indeed. Keep penning such lovely lines. Blessings, Gordon John Hamilton December 19, 2018 at 12:01 PM Thanks Gordon I appreciate the kind visit!

Silent One December 16, 2018 at 6:28 AM Never give up my friend, lovely song... really touched me.. you always do with your lyrics.. John Hamilton December 16, 2018 at 11:39 AM Thanks SO for your sincere words, very encouraging!

Lin Lane December 15, 2018 at 4:56 AM Your heart holds so much love, John, and mine aches for the lingering pain that's so evident in your lyrics. I see what you meant about comparing the words in your bridge to my poem. This is so sentimentally beautiful. Lin Lane December 16, 2018 at 12:42 AM Yes, it does. John Hamilton December 15, 2018 at 2:23 PM Thanks Lin, I appreciate your kind words and understanding it is difficult but love endures and bears all things right?

Constance La France December 14, 2018 at 3:53 PM John, beautiful lyrics, would make a great country song, someone's heart is always aching in country songs ~ John Hamilton December 14, 2018 at 9:12 PM Thanks Constance , that seems to be where people still care about the meaning of the lyrics, pop music not so much.

Carolyn Devonshire December 14, 2018 at 12:36 PM An undying love is more than most people can hope to receive, John. I love the lyric form you chose and the bridges (or refrains) seem to carry a melody. You're probably a song writer, and a very good one. While I know this refers to a romantic love, my late husband's sister always reminds me that she won't give up on me, even if life takes us on different paths for a time, people who mean this much to us remain in our hearts. Excellent writing! Best wishes, Carolyn John Hamilton December 14, 2018 at 9:11 PM Thanks Carolyn for your nice visit and kind remarks!
