"Stand In" lyrics - JIM REEVES

JIM REEVES
"Stand In"
(Hal Blair / Don Robertson)

I'm only a stand in
After all's said and done
I fought for your love
I thought I have won.

But I'm only a stand in
For somebody else
What a dreamer I've been
I'm just standing in.

I wondered if you know dear
That when you're in my 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.

[Instrumental]

I'm only a stand in
After all's said and done
I fought for your love
I thought I have 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...
