Nothing Can Take The Place of You by Brook Benton Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1969

[Verse 1]
I moved your pictures
From my wall, darling
I replaced them
Both large and small

[Chorus]
Now each new day
Finds me so blue
Now I know nothing
Can take the place of you

[Verse 1]
Every day, I read
Your letters one by one
And I know I still love you
When all is said and done

[Chorus]
And, oh, my darling
I'm so blue
Baby, nothing
Can take the place of you
[Bridge]
I'm gonna take my time
And write you a letter
Oh, It's raining on
My window pane
And I can feel the need of you
Because I know without you
Nothing seemed the same

[Verse 2]
But I'm gonna wait ‘cause
I know you'll be coming home
Baby, I love you
But I'm all alone

[Chorus]
And, oh, darling
I'm so blue
‘Cause I know nothing, nothing
Can take the place of you

[Outro]
Because nothing
Takes the place of you
