"Nothing Takes The Place Of You"
(Toussaint McCall)
Intro:
(organ, pedal bass, and piano - there is no guitar on the record):
////// ////// ////// //////
Verse 1:
I moved your pictures from my wall
And I'll replace them, both large and small
And each new day finds me so blue
Nothing takes the place of you
Verse 2:
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
Bridge:
As... I write this letter
It's raining on my windowpane
As... I feel the need of you
Because without you nothing seems the same
Verse 3:
So I'll wait until you're home
Again I'll 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
Coda:
