Photographs Memories and Ruby Red Wine (Words and music by Alan Gillis)
Chorus
Photographs memories and Ruby Red Wine
Help the hours go by
A little more wine and I'll be just fine
Except for the tears in my eye
Verse 1
Here's a picture I took on that very first date
Another right by your front door
I dream of that smile
The look in your eyes
I can still see the dress that you wore
I taste the perfume of that very first kiss
Feel your arms hold me tight
But the bottle's run dry there's a tear in my eye
And I wish you were with me tonight
Repeat chorus
Verse 2
Remember the day we went down to the shore
The pictures we drew in the sand
Then the foam and the spray
Washed them away and we'd run to the sea holding hands
I taste the salt in your kiss
Float in a mist
There's a still in the air all around
But the bottle's run dry there's a tear in my eye
And I wish you were with me right now
Repeat chorus
And I wish you were with me tonight

| Description |
Short Song Description:
It's a missing you song, without specifying why - so it relates to different situations for different people. Years after writing it, it has a totally different meaning for me personally. This version was recorded 2014. Has been #1 on five different charts - Country, Country Traditional, England, United Kingdom and Production-other tempo. |
Story Behind the Song:
Exactly what it says in the lyric. At the time I wrote it, I was home alone for a few days, and feeling lonely. |
