Burt Bacharach
This Empty Place
There's an empty place beside me
When I'm walkin' down the street
That's the place where we used to walk
The place where you held my hand
Now I reach and all I touch is space
An empty, empty place

Sadness and tears, that's all you left me
They're such bad souvenirs
Of a love that once was, oh, so very great
The greatest love
Reaching all the way to the stars above
And now there's not a star left in the sky
And if you don't come back to me I'll die

Only your embrace
Can fill this empty space

[Instrumental]

Looking out and only seeing space
An empty, empty place

Oh, sadness and tears, that's all you left me
They're such bad, bad souvenirs
Of a love that once was, oh, so very great
The greatest love
Reaching all the way to the stars above
But now there's not a star left in the sky
And if you don't come back to me I'll die
Only your embrace
Can fill this empty space
