Nothing Takes the Place of You Lyrics

I moved your pictures from my wall,
And I replaced them, both large and small.
And each new day finds me so blue,
Nothing takes the place of you.
I read your letters, one by one,
And I still love you when it's all said and done.
And, oh, my darling, I'm so blue,
Because nothing, oh, nothing takes the place of you.

As I write this letter,
It's rainin' on my window pane.
And I, oh-I feel the need of you,
Because without you nothin' seems the same.
So I'll wait untill you're home,
Again, I love ya, but I'm all alone.
And, oh, my darling, I'm so blue,
Because nothing, oh, but nothing takes the place of you.
