"Who (Will Take My Place)" lyrics

Who, when my life is through
Who will know the joy I have known with you?
Who will touch your face, sleep in your embrace
Who will take my place, when I sleep alone?

Who, when the day is done
Who will hold the hand of my only one?
Who will climb the heights, finding in your nights
All those wild delights, only I have known?

You say you'll always love me
Time has another claim
Why do the gods above me
Play this cynical game?

Life isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind - fragile as a dream
When I end my years, who will ease your pain?
Kiss away your tears, and bury me again?

When I end my years, who will ease your pain?
Kiss away your tears, and bury me again!
