Jim Reeves Lyrics
"Stand In"

(Don Robertson - Hal Blair)

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...
