Carly Simon has been one of my favorite singers for a long time. But never has she brought me to tears with one of her songs. Today, I innocently started watching a video of a new song featured on the Borders website. By the end of it, I was absolutely bawling. What a painfully beautiful song. The second verse is the one that absolutely pierced my heart.http://www.bordersmedia.com/features/video/simon_holdoutyourheart.asp

HOLD OUT YOUR HEART
Oh my boy, what have you done?
Did you go out surfing on a frozen sea?
Did you scare the livin' daylights out of me?
Did you go too far to drive away the demons?
Did you go too far to know what love really means?
Did you imagine it was more cause she went away first
Or did you force her hand to renew your thirst?
Well if you ever want an endless night
Or you need a moon and stars to shine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you some of mine
Oh my girl, what have you done?
Is it something we can't even talk about?
Did you silence me, remove me from your faith?
Did you make me all but a stranger to your love?
Did you look right through me
Below me and above?
Did you try to ignore me, make me all but lost?
Did you cloud up the sky when you needed me most?
Well if you ever want an endless night
And you need the moon and stars to shine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you all of mine
It's gonna be fine
It's gonna be fine, just fine
Just hold out your heart my darling
Just hold out your heart my darling
Hold out your heart
And I will give you all of mine
