The Shape of You

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (92)

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

The Shape of You Written by Jewel, Dallas Davidson, David Lee Murphy Albums Picking Up the Pieces, 2015 Singles The Shape of You (Digital Release), 2010 Length 4:15      (92 known performances) “I wrote this for a friend of mine that passed away of cancer. I’d written another song for her called “Violet Eyes,” shortly after she died, and this revisits my feelings 15 years later. Losing someone you love very dearly is so painful; you just wish the pain would go away. But after time I started to see that pain as a little treasure because it was something that reminded me of her. I was driving down the road and had this idea that I had a hole in my heart that is in the shape of you. There’s a beauty to mourning and missing somebody and holding them in your heart. It’s sort of like a little window into heaven you can see them through.” — Picking Up the Pieces Press Release
