Nothing Takes the Place of You - Toussaint McCall/William Bell/Brook Benton/Al Green/Mike Spenser & The Cannibals/Timi Yuro/Koko Taylor/Robert Tillman/Tab Benoit

  
    
Nothing Takes the Place of You
I moved your picture
From my walls
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

I, I write this letter
It's raining on my window pane
I, I feel the need of you
Because without you
Nothing seems the same

So I'll wait
Until you're home
Again I love you
But I'm all alone
And, oh, my darling
I'm so blue
Because nothing,
Oh, but nothing takes the place of you.
