Nothing Takes The Place Of Loving You Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

I've tried everything that I could think of 

Went out and bought some things I've wanted to 

Spent money for a while like it's going out of style 

Nothing takes the place of loving you 

I looked for consolation in the barrooms like too many broken hearted do 

I drank a full grop down but every night I found 

Nothing takes the place of loving you 

Nothing takes the place of holding your soft hands in mine 

Empty glasses only leave me blue 

Where your sweet lips used to be there's just a taste of wine 

And nothing takes the place of loving you 

[ piano ] 

I thought that I could find someone to help me 

Now I can't find the girls I've run through 

But after every fling I find the same old thing nothing takes the place of loving you 

Nothing takes the place of holding... 

Nothing takes the place of loving you
