No-One Can Take Your Place. Poem by PAUL COLVIN

You think I’m crazy cos I play the fool
You say I’m mad but really think I’m cool
I wonder why you got mixed up with me
No-one can take your place.

So many times I’ve called you on the phone
Those lonely nights lying here on my own
I only wish that you were here with me
No-one can take your place.

Those sunny days when you walked with me
On summer streets we let the people see
Two people laughing yet so much in love
No-one can take your place.

You’re still walking down the same old streets
Still saying hi to those we used to meet
And I pretend I’m listening by your side
No-one can take your place.

I know I’m not special cos I buy you things
Write you letters or the songs I sing
We’re two halves just looking for the perfect whole
That’s why no-one can take your place.
