Lyrics

Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else now shares your embrace
While I am trying to keep from crying
You go around with a smile on your face
Little you know the price that I have paid
Little you care for vows that you made
My heart is aching, soon will be breaking
For somebody's taking my place
Written by: Bob Ellsworth, Dick Howard, Russ Morgan
