Peter Tetteroo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go to my head
Makes me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do I've done
Memories won't go
I have thoughts (I have thoughts)
Every time (Every time)
Thoughts of you will leave my head
I was wrong (I was wrong)
And I find (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 thoughts (I have thoughts)
Every time (Every time)
Thoughts of you will leave my head
I was wrong (I was wrong)
And I find (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

Mooi, maar het origineel is toch echt van Neil Diamond uit 1967.

De 3e solo single voor PETER TETTEROO Red Red Wine gooide hoge ogen. Peter was de eerste die ontdekte welke hit potentie deze song had, nog eerder dan Neil Diamond zelf en jaren vóór UB40 het liedje opnam. Op de B-kant de originele versie van I Won’t Stand Between Them geschreven door Peter Koelewijn, Bonnie St. Claire coverde het nummer in 1970 en scoorde er een hit mee. Nu voor het eerst van beide nummers de mono single mix op cd. Op beide nummers schitterend toestenwerk verzorgd door Peter Seilberger en de koortjes van Patricia en Yvonne Paay. De single kwam op 9 november 1968 binnen in de Veronica Top 40, aantal weken 10, hoogste positie 6. Het werd de eerste buitenlandse hit, net over de grens in België.
