I moved your pictures from my wall
And I replaced them, both large and small
Each new day finds me so blue
'Cause nothing takes the place of you

Let me say, I read your letters one by one
And I still love you when it's said and done
Oh, my darling, I'm so blue because nothing
Oh nothing takes the place of you

Let me say this one thing
I write this letter, oh yeah
It's raining on my windowpane
Pain, pain, pain, pain
I feel the need, the need of you, oh my, my
Without you nothing, nothing
Nothing seems the same

I think I'll wait until you're home
Again I have to say I love you
But I'm all alone
And oh my darling, I'm so, so, so blue
Because nothing, oh, nothing, no
Takes the place of you

Nothing, no matter what I do
No matter where I turn
I find myself with things to learn
When I find you, open my heart up
I say to myself that nothing
Takes the place of you
Nothing takes the place of you
I can do anything I want to
Do, but nothing, oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no, no
