Lyrics Nothing Can Take the Place of You - Brook Benton

Nothing Can Take the Place of You

I moved your pictures
From my wall, darling
I replaced them
Both large and small
Now each new day
Finds me so blue
Now I know nothing
Can take the place of you
Every day, I read
Your letters one by one
And I know I still love you
When all is said and done
And, oh, my darling
I’m so blue
Baby, nothing
Can take the place of you
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
But I’m gonna wait ‘cause
I know you’ll be coming home
Baby, I love you
But I’m all alone
And, oh, darling
I’m so blue
‘Cause I know nothing, nothing
Can take the place of you
Because nothing
Takes the place of you
