lyrics

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
