The Shape Of You

(album: Picking Up The Pieces - 2015)

September settles softly
Leaves are starting to fall
I recall the last time you were here
Your laughter a melody that lingers still

There's a hole in my heart
And I carry it wherever I go
Like a treasure that travels
With me down every road
There's this longing lonesome and deep
Kind of bitter, kind of sweet
There's a hole in my heart
In the shape of you

Time stealing swiftly
There's children having children of their own
And around life's merry-go-round goes
And there you are wanting what you cannot hold

There's a hole in my heart
And I carry it wherever I go
Like a treasure that travels
With me down every road
There's this longing, lonesome and deep
Kind of bitter, kind of sweet
There's a hole in my heart
In the shape of you

Even though my heart aches
There's a smile on my face
'Cause just like a window to heaven
There's a light shining through
This hole in my heart
So I will carry it wherever I go
Like a treasure that travels
With me down every road

There's this longing and it's lonesome and it's deep
Kind of bitter, and it's kind of sweet
There's a hole in my heart
There's a hole in my heart
There's a hole in my heart
But it's in the shape of you
