Oh who will take my place in your heart when I'm gone
Who'll be by your side when you're telling me goodbye
Tell me who will know the bliss of your tender loving kiss
The kisses I will miss when I'm gone
When I'm gone gone take your new love to the places where we go
Don't tell him all those sweet lies that made me love you so
Oh you know I'll set you free but I'll hang around to see
Who'll take the place of me when I'm gone
[ piano ]
Oh who will take my place in your heart when I'm gone
Who will hold your charms leavin' me with empty arms
Tell me what you're gonna do when your heart breaks right into
Who'll you tell your troubles to when I'm gone
When I'm gone gone...
