Stand In

Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]

(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...
