Verse:
Your eyes once told me a story,
I built my castles on air.
Life soon was dimmed of it's glory,
I loved,  But you ceased to care.
 
Chorus:
There's nothing left for me,  Of days that used to be,
I live in memory,  Among My Souvenirs.
Some letters tied wth blue,  A photograph or two,
I see a rose from you,  Among My Souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest,
And tho' they do their best,  To give me consolation,
I count them all apart,  And as the tear drops start,
I find a broken heart,  Among My Souvenirs.
