Nothing Takes The Place Of You
Eternal Longing: Unfillable Void in Tab Benoit's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
I moved your picture from my wall
I removed your picture from my wall
And I replaced them baby
Replaced pictures, both large and small, perhaps trying to move on
Both large and small
Continuing the act of replacing memories
And each new day oh finds me so blue
Every new day makes the singer feel sad and lonely
Because nothing
Emphasizing the void left by someone special
Nothing takes the place of you
Expressing the irreplaceability of the person
I read your letter, oh baby one by one
Reading a letter from the loved one, cherishing each word
And I still love ya, ya know I do
Despite the separation, the singer still loves the person
When it's all said and done
Reflecting on the entirety of the relationship
And oh my darlin, oh I'm so blue
The singer is deeply saddened without the loved one
Because nothing
Reiterating the irreplaceable nature of the person
No nothing takes the place of you
Emphasizing the enduring impact of the loved one
And as, as I write this letter
Writing a letter, possibly expressing emotions and longing
Lord it's raining, raining on my windowpane
Rain is a metaphor for sadness, intensifying the emotional atmosphere
And as, as I feel baby in need of you
Feeling a strong need for the loved one's presence
Cause without you
Highlighting the profound impact of the loved one's absence
Without you nothing seems the same
Life feels different and incomplete without the person
And so I'll wait, baby till your home
Expressing a willingness to wait for the loved one's return
Oh and I'll love again
Anticipating the possibility of loving again in the future
Yes I will but right now I'm so all alone
Currently feeling lonely and yearning for the loved one
And oh my darlin baby I'm
Reiterating the profound sadness caused by the absence
So blue, because nothing
Nothing can replace the unique place held by the loved one
Nothing take the place of you
Reemphasizing the irreplaceability of the person
Because nothing
Restating the enduring impact and importance of the loved one
No nothing takes the place of you
Affirming the unparalleled significance of the loved one
