I tried money
|
I got as much as I could
|
and I went to the store
|
And I bought it all
|
But it wasn't enough
|
'cause I wanted some more
|
But my house was full
|
So I bought a bigger house
|
and filled it up
|
And there I was with all that stuff
|
And empty
|
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
It's true
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
I know it's true
|
|
Still I try friendship
|
I called everyone I knew
|
And invited them over for a party
|
They ate all the free food
|
And they told me how much they loved me
|
But when the food was gone
|
My friends were gone
|
And there I was all alone
|
And empty
|
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
Nothing else
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
I know it's true
|
|
So take the place
|
The place of you
|
And fill this space
|
The way you do
|
I'm tired of searching
|
Those days are through
|
So take the place
|
It's made for you
|
|
Not friends or money or alcohol
|
None of these things, believe me
|
You can try them all
|
Not status
|
Not success
|
I know none of these things
|
will ever bring true happiness
|
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
Nothing else
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
Yes, I know
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|
Nothing else can take the place of You
|

Nothing Else
