Nothing Can Take the Place of You - Brook Benton

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
