Lyrics
Verse 1
Your eyes once told me a story;
I built my castles on air.
Life soon was dimmed of its glory,
I loved but you ceased to care.
Verse 2
You broke the news to me kindly,
I can't say you were not fair.
Yet, just because I loved blindly,
I have the burden to bear.
Chorus
There's nothing left for me,
Of days that used to be,
I live in memory among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with 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. irs.
