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 December 13,2018 John Derek Hamilton

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!

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.

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.

John, beautiful lyrics, would make a great country song, someone's heart is always aching in country songs ~

Thanks Constance , that seems to be where people still care about the meaning of the lyrics, pop music not so much.

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
