"Photograph" is a song by English rock musician Ringo Starr that was released as the lead single from his 1973 album Ringo. Starr co-wrote it with George Harrison, his former bandmate from the Beatles. Although they collaborated on other songs, it is the only one officially credited to the pair. A signature tune for Starr as a solo artist, "Photograph" was an international hit, topping singles charts in the United States, Canada and Australia, and receiving gold disc certification for US sales of 1 million. Music critics have similarly received the song favourably; Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic considers it to be "among the very best post-Beatles songs by any of the Fab Four".

Lyrics

By Richard Starkey and George Harrison





EV´RY TIME I SEE YOUR FACE,

IT REMINDS ME OF THE PLACES WE USED TO GO.

BUT ALL I 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 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 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 GOT IS A PHOTOGRAPH

AND I REALISE YOU`RE NOT.
