Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart (Live from iTunes Festival, London, 2012)

We have passed the 3 PM hour, on our way to 4 PM, where has the time flown? As part of our Afternoon Music Interlude on this R.E.D. Friday, I chose a beautiful yet somber song by featured artist/singer, Alicia Keys titled "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart (Live from iTunes Festival, London, 2012)...

I have listened to her songs from time to time, but I have seen and heard some beautiful music from this multi-talented artist and I am in awe of her style, her zeal, and her musical talent at the piano and other instruments...

LYRICS:

"Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" by Alicia Keys

Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me

And all the time you were tellin' me lies

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed

Lonely, own me nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me
Need me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me

Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love
With you
Right til the end Oh

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's bout to fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
I'll just hold on to love

And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
