Lyrics & Music by: Ian McLeish & James H. Robinson
 
 

1.
Every time I see that picture, hanging so high on the wall -
Every time I see that picture, it reminds me of our fall;
Every time I read that letter - the one that said goodbye -
Every time I read your letter - it feels like part of me dies.
If you had more time for loving me - and less time for running around -
I'd likely be lying beside you right now, instead of crying all over this town.

Chorus.
No, I don't need a reminder of the way that I feel about you -
Every time I read that letter, it burns me through and through.

2.
Every time I see a reminder of the life that we once led -
I know that you've put behind you - the tender words that you once said;
And I can't seem to find a replacement - another pair of lips just won't do -
And I'd trade this guitar for a memory - if that would return me to you -

Chorus.
No, I don't need a reminder of the way that I feel about you -
Every time I see that picture, it burns me through and through -
Every time I see that picture - I wish I was back home with you.
