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 and deep Kind of bitter, kind of sweet There's a hole in my heart in the shape of you Time stealing swiftly This 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 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 There's 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, 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
