Lyrics of
Red Red Wine

Red Red Wine was composed by Neil Diamond in 1967. The song gained great fame in UB40s reggae version in 1983, which featured a lighter and more festive interpretation of the original song. The inspiration for the lyrics came after Diamond had experienced a period of heartbreak.

Red red wine,
Go to my head,
Make me forget that I
Still need her so,
Red red wine,
It's up to you,
All I can do I've done,
But memories won't go,
No, memories won't go

I have sworn,
That with time,
Thoughts of you would leave my head,
I was wrong and I find,
Just one thing makes me forget

Red red wine,
Stay close to me,
Don't let me be alone,
It's tearin' apart
My blue, blue heart.

I have sworn,
That with time,
Thoughts of you would leave my head,
I was wrong and I find,
Just one thing makes me forget

Red red wine,
Stay close to me,
Don't let me be alone,
It's tearin' apart
My blue, blue heart.
