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...
