Lyrics for Nothing Takes the Place of You
I moved your pictures from my wall And I replaced them, both large and small Each new day finds me so blue 'Cause nothing takes the place of you Let me say, I read your letters one by one And I still love you when it's said and done Oh, my darling, I'm so blue because nothing Oh nothing takes the place of you Let me say this one thing I write this letter, oh yeah It's raining on my windowpane Pain, pain, pain, pain I feel the need, the need of you, oh my, my Without you nothing, nothing Nothing seems the same I think I'll wait until you're home Again I have to say I love you But I'm all alone And oh my darling, I'm so, so, so blue Because nothing, oh, nothing, no Takes the place of you Nothing, no matter what I do No matter where I turn I find myself with things to learn When I find you, open my heart up I say to myself that nothing Takes the place of you Nothing takes the place of you I can do anything I want to Do, but nothing, oh no, no, no Oh no, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no, no
