Lyrics
Ev’ry time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I’ve got is a photograph
And I realise you’re not coming back anymore
I thought I’d make it
The day you went away
But I can’t make it
Till you come home again to stay-yi-yay-yi-yay.
I can’t get used to living here
While my heart is broke
My tears I cried for you
I want you here to have and hold
As the years go by
And we grow old and grey
Now you’re expecting me to live without you
But that’s not something that I’m looking forward to
I can’t get used to living here
While my heart is broke
My tears I cried for you
I want you here to have and hold
As the years go by
And we grow old and grey
Ev’ry time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I’ve got is a photograph
And i realise you’re not coming back anymore
Ev’ry time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I’ve got is a photograph
And I realise you’re not coming back anymore
