Burt Bacharach - This Empty Place lyrics

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
