'Every 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 realize you're not coming back anymore. . .I can't get used to living here/ And my heart is broke/ My tears I cry for you/ I want you here to have and hold/ As the years go by/ And we grow old and gray. . .'---Photograph, by Ringo Starr and George Harrison. . .. . . . .Shirley, I don't know how the sun can come up without you.
