This Empty Place Songtext
von Dionne Warwick

There′s an empty place beside me
When I'm walkin′ down the street
That's the place where you 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 place

If I don't fill this emptiness
I know that I′ll lose my mind
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 place
Come back, come back, come back to me

Come back and fill my empty arms
I need your lovin′ darling
Your lips are lovin' darling
Come back, come back, come back to me

Come back and fill my empty arms
I need your lovin′ darling
Your lips are lovin' darling
Come back, come back, come back to me
