Ringo Starr - Photograph

Hey teachers,

I know that using song lyrics in class to teach English as a foreign language is a common practice and most likely, you all know about that.

But I couldn´t help posting this beautiful song here

You could use it, for instance, to give an example of “used to” for past habits as in the sentence below:

“Every time I see your face, it reminds me of the places we used to

go”

Photograph - Lyrics by Ringo Starr and George Harrison:

“Every 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 to stay yi- yay yi yay

I can´t get used to living here while my heart is broke, my tears I cried for u

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 tooo

I can´t get used to living here while my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you

I want you here to hold, as the years go by and we grow  old and grey

2x:

“Every 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.

Play it and enjoy
