I lost my dad 2 years ago due to cancer .. This was one of his favorite songs we would sing together..RIP daddy❤

Still love this song 25 years later. This song was playing when me and my hubby were on our first date. I engraved "you were meant for me" into his first wedding band. Then when we had our daughter 10 yrs ago we used Jewel as my daughter's middle name since it held a special meaning in our lives. 🥰

This song take me back to 2004 when I was just a kid playing with my Scooby-Doo toys on the living floor glancing back and forth to the kitchen watching my mother so beautifully sing this song while washing dishes looking out the window. I never understood until I listen to the words. Those times are gone and only memories live on.

This was my moms favorite song. She sang it all the time. She passed away a few days ago, and I'd give anything to hear her sing it again. Edit 1 year later: its been a year now since she's passed and this song still has me in tears because all I can think about when I hear it is my beautiful mom, and how much she sang her heart out to it. That's how powerful love is, even when the other person is gone. ♡ Please always cherish your mother's, you only get one.

So i used to sing this to my little girl when she was an infant, til she was like 2... never thought I'd bury her at 11 years old, Amazing how a song becomes so deeply engraved into your life...

I'm so depressed, this is what you listen to when you've lost faith in anything working out for you. I can't be around a lot of people. I'm really the happiest just being alone, listening to music I like.

There is no worse feeling than falling in love deeply with someone, growing together and connecting on a deeper level that only the universe could understand, and then one day the relationship suddenly ends whether by choice or unforeseen circumstances or any other reason. You always find yourself continuing to love that person and longing for the past but knowing it can't happen. This song resonates in my heart and soul.

At 32 years old... I finally understand the meaning of these lyrics...

Who's still listening in 2020. God I miss this song. Those times..

havent heard this song in so long brings me back to the says as a kid..born 1991 n grew up to alot of this music hat was popular on the radio at thetime.. my mom driving her 90' Toyota truck, we getting a happy meal thru McDonalds drive thru, pulling into the gas station still remember seeing the gas price 1.95 and across the street we'd go to blockbuster and rent a movie and a Nintendo64 game... good memories

Roughly 25-ish years ago, when I was just a little kid, I lived in a small neighborhood of townhomes. There was a girl down the street that I became good friends with. Her name was Danika. One of the things we used to do was play SNES at her house, some Disney game where I was Mickey and she was Minnie. Whenever we'd do that, she would play this song on repeat, loud enough that it covered the game sound. I used to make her laugh a lot. One day I went to her house, but some random man answered the door. He told me he just moved in and she had moved away. I never saw her again. I also moved away not too long after - same city, new neighborhood. I think we were friends for less than a year, but we were definitely close. Here I am today, still just a single guy. This song is honestly my strongest memory of her. It has come into my mind many times over the years, but I never knew its name until today. I decided to google the lyrics from the chorus to find it. I always wonder how things would be different now if we could have stayed friends... "Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone..."

Maybe the most profound lyric in any song of all time, "I'm half alive, but I feel mostly dead".... Geshhhh if you have not felt that exact feeling she is describing I can't really explain it to you then. It captures everything...forever and always a classic 90s hit.

I remember I found "Jewel: Pieces of you" in my mom's dresser drawer. She told me it was adult music and I shouldn't listen to it. I did. Fell in love with her voice. Hide in my closet for hrs listening to that CD. Now me and Mom jam out to her together. 😆❤️

when i was a kid my mother would sing this song to me and when c.p.s. took me away from her i could only remember bits and pieces of the song and i finally found it and ive had it on replay for days and i cry all day long

My mom passed away two or three years ago....this song reminds me of my mother and father. It played on the radio when my dad went into the store. I cried alot hearing it.

I never really understood this song when I was younger, of course it never stopped me from singing along, but i finally understand it 💔 Thank God for great music like this during the heartbreak. the hardest part of an ending, accepting the dreams you had for your future together are just that, nothing but dreams.

24 years old and I feel like I'm an outsider in these comments lol but my biggest childhood memories are my mama singing this at the top of her lungs. I love this song and it already makes me cry and my mom is still here 😭 just a beautiful song all around.

“I'm half alive, but I feel mostly dead”...

Just learned this on the piano. Such a timeless song. Jewel is so talented.

What an AMAZING person Jewel is and the songs she sang are just what I need to hear right now. I have a fiance that committed suicide just a little less than 5 years ago and when I hear this song, I still feel her kisses and hear her voice whisper in my ear. It is still hard for me to realize that she is gone........I actually sang this song with my fiance when she proposed to me and we were sure we would be together. THANK YOU for this video!!

My mom used to sing this song to me when i was little and couldn't sleep she was never the best singer but i loved when she sang to us

90's country pop song. Beautiful song. Brings back a lot of childhood memories.

Emotional recollections....... 'Sad' will never leave when something was absolutely real & so fulfilling

I honestly never realized how bittersweet this song is. Especially the last verse. And that guitar though. God we need more 90s alternative/acoustic music back. I’m so happy this was my generation of music. I think it came out when I was in Kindergarten in 1994 but I didn’t hear it until 1997.

she's an OUTSTANDING writer i cant even handle it

"Dreams last so long even after you're gone. I know you love me, And soon you will see: You were meant for me, And I was meant for you." One can wish, can't he?

My boyfriend and I broke up after 10 years a few days ago. My whole life has flipped upside Down. I keep playing this over and over. "Im alive but I feel mostly dead" is beyond accurate. My heart feels like it's going to stop beating.

Haven't heard this in while .. thought I could but still makes me cry thou ... one day it won't hurt anymore .

I sang this song to my son when he was little at nap time & bedtime for years. He's now 22. ♥️

I had my heart shattered by my ex a year ago and this song is the definition of those feelings in music form ...I still can't accept he's gone forever and still hope n pray he comes back to me despite the reality he most likely won't 💔💔💔🙏

God doesn't hate secular music ,but he loves To be Glorified! It's Deserved!

Gosh, I have forgotten how much I love this song!!!

I love those broken down soul singer songwriters who r REAL😁😀

Yeah. It's a good lyric and done really well. Nothing like a good Jewel binge when you're down.

Takes me right back to the 90's. To my preschool days. I'm 19 now, & when I listen to this song I am whisked right back to the past. Amazing how magical music can be.

this is the best version of the song. the ablum version is sweet and vintage, but honestly I love when she sing it's powerfully like she does here. thanks for posting.

My brother is HIV positive and being his caretaker, it was hard., it was hard... we lived together but.... frankie, i don't leave the towels on the floor anymore...

A beautiful song that shows that life does go on after heartbreak.

Why r people complaining? I can see the lyrics perfectly. Just be thankful there is a lyric version of this song. Thanks for putting this up!

2021 and I’m right back here crying to this song again, like I never learned anything or changed at all between now and 1995. “I go about my business, I’m doing fine - besides, What would I say if I had you on the line? Same old story, Not much to say - Hearts are broken every day...”

No matter how long it has been since everything happened between you and that person, this song will make you miss them more than anything.

Jewel stole my heart many years ago this song spoke to me

It’s a sad song, but I get more joy from it then I do sadness. In spite of its relatable ness. I have done the healing to where I can enjoy this as the kid version, instead of the adult. It takes me back to a version of myself I truly love, and admire. Being 9 yrs old, 👂🏼 listening to kiss fm 📻 walking to school by myself. Taking grenades from a tree by my house, eating it on my way back. Allowing my creativity run rapid, and free. The scent of gardenias in my neighbors garden. The warmth of the sun on my skinny legs. The freedom of expression in all that I did. Wearing dark purple tights, pastel multicolored sweater with 3 bears on it. Black boots, white shorts with lime green polka dots, and a firefly shirt underneath my sweater. Hair all over the place...meh! Who am I kidding?! It’s still all over the place....nonetheless It takes me back to that free spirited, creative, fun kid. I’m glad my brain is associating this song to that time in my life. Not the later one that relates.

this song makes me miss my cat;( I just wish he knew how much I loved him

Still chokes me up Such a beautiful combination Still love

I just like the song. I'm not heartbroken right now. I'm kind of falling in love, actually. lol

I was raised listening to jewel, thirteen years later and still love her.

isthisreal1991 I am also a guy and a rocker too that loves this song. What can I say when a song is sung with heart and feeling i hope any music connaisseur takes it in to respect. I didn't realize its been 14 yrs, man I am only 26 but it shows how time goes by if you lose track.

Jewel has quite a romantic imagination. 💛 I'm planning to sing it on Zoom for Cafe Quarantine Karaoke in January 2022 for Round 2️⃣. 👍🏻 if you agree and like the 👱🏻‍♀️’s 🎶 very much at the same time, of course.

I hear the clock, it's 6 a.m. I feel so far from where I've been I got my eggs, I got my pancakes too I got my maple syrup, everything but you I break the yolks and make a smiley face I kinda like it in my brand new place I wipe the spots off of the mirror Don't leave the keys in the door I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause Dreams last so long, even after you're gone I know that you love me And soon you will see, you were meant for me And I was meant for you I called my momma, she was out for a walk Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't want to talk So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news More hearts being broken or people being used Put on my coat in the pouring rain I saw a movie it just wasn't the same Cause it was happy and I was sad It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause Dreams last so long, even after you're gone I know that you love me And soon you will see, you were meant for me And I was meant for you I go about my business, I'm doing fine Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line Same old story, not much to say Hearts are broken every day I brush my teeth and put the cap back on I know you hate it, when I leave the light on I pick up a book, and turn the sheets down And take a deep breath and a good look around Put on my pj's and hop into bed I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead I try and tell myself it'll be all right I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause Dreams last so long, even after you're gone I know that you love me And soon you will see, you were meant for me And I was meant for you You were meant for me and I was meant for you

This song make me cry because my sister listen to this song every time she passed away when she was 17 years old in a car accident! 😢

Can't understand every word but this is an amazing song ;) Jewell I admire you so much as you are from North as my Dad was from Canada Love always ~

I'm only 15 but I've been listening to jewel before I was born this song makes my heart melt everytime

I love you so much Tiffany. You have no idea how hurtful it is to see a grocery store girl with a Tiffany nametag and then I don't see your face. To meet a nice girl and automatically think, she's nice but, she's not "Tiffany" nice. You got me past all the racist kids in school and the unpopularity. I would hear the N-word throw at me but, all I knew was there was a little asian girl that loves me and thats all I needed. I miss you so much girl. Since Helen Caro Elemantary. Like Jewel and Sinead O'Connor said. "We were meant to be" and "Nothing Compares to you". I love you so much girl.

This is the clearest version I could find on here. Thank you!!!!!

This song makes me cry every time i listen to it, yet i replay it over and over.

I love her so much😍👑. Shes such a beautiful soul💜

"hearts are broken every day." sad yet relieving at the same time.

Yes and same here. I miss you i miss us i miss all of it. The good the bad all of it

Always a favorite. How this was my broken heart go to song as a teen. Still listening #2019

Brings me back to childhood..

I met m wife why she was singing this back in 2003 at a karaoke contest at foxwoods resort she was at the same karaoke bar after her dance competition . Her friends all siad she sounded like jewel when she sang so didn't her voice coach well I heard he sin this while playing the guitar and I feel in love and we have been together since. This song takes me back to that nite..

Jewel is an excellent singer! I know all 4 her songs very well (Am I standing still/Hands/Foolish games/You were meant for me) Just don't get to hear her music on the radio anymore. Don't know why.

if you're a true fan, you dont need the lyrics. no mumbled words here.

brings back old memories, love this song.

I'm traumatized... Ive been through so much I don't know what to do.. I have so much pain from the absence of my own mother that I don't understand what it is that i'm feeling. She used to listen to this song.. im 30 :[ hurts being 30.. ENJOY YOUR YOUTH and stay away from old people

I am also 32 years old, and finally understand what the lyrics mean.💔

I love this song me and my kids father would here this song on the radio the Delilah show and i was pregnant with our first hes now passed away now i miss him everday. Rip Richard💙💋 2011

I get chills when I hear the "Hearts are broken everyday" part.

Jewel is from Alaska, her book is amazing, a must read. The 90's.

jewel is the most stuning female voice in music in the last 20 years not since karen carpenter had a voice sung to my heart with such puirness and emotion love you jewel always

I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE LYRICS BUT....BOY I CAN SURE FEEL EM...

the melody and lyrics are pretty relaxing and sweet today I listen to this song again since my last listen to this 4 years ago it brings my back to the sweet days

Going into 2020 listening to this song ❤❤

The Office brought me here :)

When I was real little this song helped me sleep

As far as the lyrics are concerned, I think this and nothing compares to you tell the same story.

listening to this in 2019

Thank you for uploading this song. It means so much more to me at 35 than it did at 15. Hopefully, we can mend what's broken.....

I'm an metalhead and this song is one of my favorites.

She had so many bangers what am i doing loafting on jewel??? Beautiful voice and shes so real

A boy that goes to school with my daughter said this song is for her. They’re both 14 but I thot that was super sweet.

My favorite till I was small. Back then, I never knew that every word would turn out to be true today.

this song always reminds me of a time in my life when i was 16 living in russel ontario in the winter , i miss that carefree time of being a kid , looking back at 43 years old now ,lol fuck i had it so good but was a blind kid , to just how good it really was .

If your listening in 2021 your a ✨Legend✨

I always loved this song, never knew that it was by Jewel. Always thought it was older haha considering this song is so good, and more modern music is almost trash.

She became popular whenever I was stationed in the San Diego during the late 1990's.

This song reminds me of when my mom wanted to be my mom she used to sing this all the time

God used this song to reveal to me that He was my jilted Love while I was doing life my way instead of His....

Takes me back to being 17. Good times!!

Love this song whos listening to this now 2019

I'm blind (okay, well, not really, but my eyes are horrible. Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you that) and I can see them clear as day. Great job, I love it =]

Miss you dad its not been two weeks.....it feels like an eternity.
