A Beautiful Song

The multi-talented singer songwriter Jewel At The Golden Globes

While watching the Golden Globes this past Sunday night, I was reminded of a beautiful song that the singer/songwriter Jewel performed in 2010 during the "In Memorium" section of the program.  Jewel said she wrote the song, titled "A Hole In My Heart," about a friend who had recently passed away.

Thanks to Google, I found the lyrics to her touching song and thought I would share them with you:

"A Hole In My Heart"

By Jewel

September settled 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 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

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 the 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

Just like a window to heaven

There's a light shining through

This hole in my heart so 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

There's a hole in my heart

There's a hole in my heart in the shape of you.
