Dionne Warwick This Empty Place Lyrics

This Empty Place Lyrics

There's an empty place beside me

When I'm walking 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 this

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



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



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



Ah, 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 loving, darling

Your lips are loving, darling



Come back, come back, come back to me

Oh, come back and fill my empty arms

I need your loving, darling

Your lips are loving, darling

Come back, come back, come back to me
