"This Empty Place" is a song written and composed by Hal David and Burt Bacharach.

Recorded in Bell Sound Studios, New York City, 1963. (Scepter Records)

There's an empty place beside me

When I'm walking down the street

That's the place where you used to walk

The place where you held my hand

Now I reach and all I touch is this

An empty, empty place

Sadness and tears, that's all you left me

They're such bad souvenirs

Of love that once was, oh, so very great

The greatest love, reaching all the way to the stars above

But now there's not a star left in the sky

And if you don't come back to me I'll die

Only your embrace can fill this empty place

If I don't fill this emptiness

I know that I'll lose my mind

Looking out and only seeing space

An empty, empty place

Oh, sadness and tears, that's all you left me

They're such bad, bad souvenirs

Of a love that once was, oh, so very great

The greatest love, reaching all the way to the stars above

But now there's not a star left in the sky

And if you don't come back to me I'll die

Only your embrace can fill this empty place

Come back, come back, come back to me

Come back and fill my empty arms

I need your loving, darling

Your lips are loving, darling

Come back, come back, come back to me

Oh, come back and fill my empty arms

I need your loving, darling

Your lips are loving, darling

Come back, come back, come back to me

Yea, come back and fill my empty arms

I need your loving, darling

Your lips are loving, darling

Come back come on back come back to me

I was thirteen when I first heard this song, and it still sounds just as good today.

Good, but I like the Stephanie Mills version much better!

Bellissimo brano del duo vincente Bacharach-David , per una superlativa Dionne Warvick. Porgo i miei complimenti a chi ha pubblicato questo bellissimo brano, non sempre si trova qualcuno che abbia dei gusti così raffinati nel pubblicare musica.In Italia, nel 1964, c'è stata Roberta Mazzoni che ha cantato questo brano in italiano, col titolo "L'Amore Di Nessuno", testo di Giuseppe Cassia; Come B side del 45 giri "I Tuoi Baci Sono Baci/L'Amore Di Nesuno", Jolly-J 20241, pubblicato nel 1964.

I was a Dionne Warwick fan from the very beginning, and how could you not be with songs like 'This Empty Place'! I was a Burt Bacharach/Hal David fan from the beginning also even when I discovered songs like 'Any day Now' and 'I don't want to cry' sung by Chuck Jackson were written by them. WOW, Hal David and Burt were the best man. :)

One of her early treasures. It should have been a bigger hit.
