Dusty Springfield
Who (Will Take My Place)
[Verse 1]
Who, when my life is through?
Who will know the joy
I have known with you?
Who will touch your face?
Sleep in your embrace?
Who will take my place
When I sleep alone?
[Verse 2]
Who, when the day is done?
Who will hold the hand
Of my only one?
Who will climb the heights?
Finding in your nights
All those wild delights
Only I have known
[Bridge]
You say you'll always love me
Time has another claim
Why do the gods above me
Play the cynical game?
[Verse 3]
Oh, life, isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind
Fragile as a dream
When I end my years
Who will ease my pain?
Kiss away my tears?
And bury me again?
