STAND IN

Teresa Brewer


I've tried to take her place dear
You've tried to care for me
But darling I'm afraid I'll always be

Only a stand in after all is said and done
I fought for your love, I thought I had won
But I'm only a stand in for somebody else
I thought I could win, what a dreamer I've been
I'm just standing in

I wonder if you know dear
That when I'm in your arms
Sometimes the name you whisper isn't mine
I've tried not to believe it
But in my heart I know
I've only been a stand in all the time
