Heavy Hearts

An empty chair, a silent drum
In disbelief the teardrops run
You carried a boundless amount of love
What words for your mom
With only twelve summers gone (summers gone)

Never wept in my father's arms before
(never wept in my father's arms)
All the could-haves nevermore
Overnight, so unforeseen
Yet, your vivid smile, a warmth within me

Heavy hearts are golden
Carry us over
Leave holes but shine through the left-behinds
And I'm going to hold you
Strong like I push the tide
Aiming to keep you by my side

Oh, your joy I see
Sweet delighted wisdom
And I know you're cheering for me
What goes around ain't nearly coming back
But listen even now your spirits with me

You used to show me how it's done (aaah)
Cherished the moment and the time would always run
(time would always run)
I know you knew how I felt (I know you knew)
And now you walk with the stars
It ain't the same as it was (same as it was)

What we've drawn is what we got (what we got)
But I felt more from you than the ones holding a royal flush
(royal flush, oooh)
Overnight, so unforeseen (so unforeseen)
Yet your vivid smile, a warmth within me

Heavy hearts are golden
Carry us over
Leave holes but shine through the left-behinds
And I'm going to hold you
Strong like I push the tide
Aiming to keep you by my side

Oh, your joy I see
Sweet delighted wisdom
And I know you're cheering for me
What goes around ain't nearly coming back
But listen even now your spirits with me

And I'm going to hold you (I'm holding ya)
Carry us over (carry us over)
Leave holes but shine through the left-behinds
(and I'm going to hold ya)
And I'm going to hold (hold ya)
Carry us over (carry us over)
Aiming to keep you by my side (ooooh)

Oh, your joy I see (your joy I see)
Sweet delighted wisdom (yeah and I know)
And I know you're cheering for me (you're cheering for me)
What goes around ain't nearly coming back
(ain't nearly coming back but listen)
But listen, even now your spirits with me
(even now your spirits with me)
