This is a song by Filipino artist Ariel Rivera in the nineties.

I still have the photograph of you
I’ve keep it all this years
I guess it would make you laugh to know
It still brings back the tears
From another place and time
When your love was mine
A picture of innocence— your eyes
They move me even now
If I had the confidence– I’d try
To bring you back somehow
To another place and time
When your love was mine
Maybe I’m just a sentimental fool
Bringing back memories
From a photograph of you,
La—la—la……
Back to another place and time
When your love was mine
I still have a photograph of you
I’ve kept it all these years.

This was the first thing that came to my mind when DP posted Always Something There to Remind Me—something I haven’t listened to for almost a year.
The irony is, I don’t have a photograph of or a person worth remembering out of this song. I just love to listen to it. It’s filled with longing and love—just the right size of romance. Big factor is the artist’s cool voice and the emotion it brings—it’s like missing someone I can’t even grasp who.
Still, Ariel Rivera will always be my favorite OPM singer. Thanks for reminding me, DP.
