Lyrics
Red, red wine goes to my headMakes me forget that I still need her so
Red, red wine, it’s up to youAll I can do I’ve doneMemories won’t go, memories won’t go
I’d have sworn that with timeThoughts of you leave my headI was wrong, now I findJust one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine, stay close to meDon’t let me be aloneIt’s tearing apart my blue heart
I’d have sworn that with timeThoughts of you leave my headI was wrong, now I findJust one thing makes me forget
Red, red wine, stay close to meDon’t let me be aloneIt’s tearing apart my blue heart
