September settles 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 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'll carry it wherever I go,
Like a treasure that travels with me down every road,
There's this longing lonesome 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,
'Cuz just like a window to heaven,
There's a light shining through.

This hole in my heart and so I will carry it wherever I go,
Like a treasure that travels with me down every road,
There's this longing lonesome 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 and it's in the shape of you.
