Photograph Smile: Photograph Smile

About the Song....
This was the first song Julian Lennon and Greg Darling wrote together and the title track of his 5th album. The song was released as a promotional single in Taiwan in 1998.

"It was written after a relationship where I thought I'd found love again. It's all about someone who was living on the other side of the world. And all I had to remind me of her were my memories and a photograph. The photograph was blue skies behind, with her sitting in front smiling. And it was about the pain of potentially not seeing that person again. Obviously that can relate to a lot of situations in life and death."
- Julian Lennon on "Photograph Smile"

There's a light on that covers the blue
and I want to be closer to you
and she's smiling and waving goodbye,
who'd've thought that I'd ever ask why?

And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
under the heavenly blue,
I'm never gonna be closer again,
I'll never know,
I'll never feel you, ever again.

And I wait sitting here by the phone,
with the hope that your heart isn't stone
and I wish that you'd call me and cry,
so I'd know how you feel deep inside.

And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
under the heavenly blue,
I'm never gonna be closer again,
I'll never know,
I'll never feel you, ever again.

Heavenly voice won't you guide me,
help me I'm falling too deep.

And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
I'm still in love with that photograph smile,
please don't deny me,
I've waited so long,
waited so long,
I want to feel you, feel you again.
