Lyrics
- Ev’rything must have an end
So the poets say
Our romance like all the rest
Will end some sorry day
But before that end draws near
I’d like to whisper in your ear
Chorus
Who’ll take my place in your heart when I’m gone
Who’ll know the bliss of your kiss from then on
Who’s gonna share each sorrow and care
What’ll you do whenever you’re blue
There isn’t a one who will love you like I do
Who’ll take my place in your wonderful arms
Who will embrace all your wonderful charms
And who’ll always be true and believe just in you
Tell me, who’ll take my place when I’m gone
- When we lose someone we love
With heartaches we pay
But I guess it’s for the best
That things turn out that way
If we part, I wonder who
Will be in my place with you
