The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who'll take my place in your heart when I'm gone?
Who'll know the bliss of your kiss from then on?
Who's gonna share each sorrow and care?
What'll you do, whenever you're blue?
There is no one who will love you like I do.
Who'll take my place in your wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful arms?
Who will embrace all those gorgeous sweet charms?
And who'll always be true, and believe just in you?
Tell me, who'll take my place when I'm gone?
Tell me, who'll take my place when I'm gone?
