September sad and softly Leaves are starting to fall I recall, last time you were here Your laughter a melody that lingers still There s a hole in my heart and I ll carry it wherever I go Like a treasure that travels with me down every road There s this longing lonesome ending kind of bitter, kind of sweet There s a hole in my heart in the shape of you Time stealing swiftly 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 ll carry it wherever I go Like a treasure that travels with me down every road There s this longing lonesome ending 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 Just like a window to heaven There s a light shining through This hole in my heart and so I ll carry it wherever I go Like a treasure that travels with me down every road There s this longing lonesome ending kind of bitter, kind of sweet There s a hole in my heart There s a hole in my heart There s a hole in my heart in the shape of you
